DVLA drink drive medical question?
Hi i got banned from driving because stupidly i wouldn't take the police breathalyser or blood test, i hadent even had a drink but little did i know i would still be penalised.
So i got a ban and now its time to get my licence back but i have to take a medical.
i am not worried about the medical in general as i donot drink and i am fit to drive, but one thing does worry me,
"The medical examination is designed to assess a drivers overall fitness to drive, with a focus on any past or present alcohol abuse or misuse problems. High risk offenders will be required to provide a sample of blood, a urine sample and undergo a brief physical medical examination 'INCLUDING AN EYE TEST'. The doctor will also perform a medical interview which will involve a series of questions that the high risk offender must answer."
So..the eye test, see i have a squint in one eye, i can see out of it but i cannot focus on an object, i would be able to identify an object but not focus on it, ie to read a numberplate.
my other eye is 100% but i am worried that i am going to fail the medical due to my impared vision in the one eye.
Could anyone tell me if they have taken this medical and what the eye test entails, also, if you have taken this test with the same problem as me and passed.
Many Thanks

Don't make me laugh! You're informed of the consequences at every step by the arresting officer.
Anyway, the eye test is the same eye test as any new driver would have to undertake - read a number plate (standard size) at a distance of 20.5 metres. If you normally wear glasses, then wear them. Fail to read the number plate without glasses, then you have to get glasses. Fail to read it with glasses and you get a wonderful opportunity to view the scenery from the comfort of a bus seat.
Go outside, walk 30 normal paces from a car, turn and read the numberplate. If you can to that, you'll pass the test.
Your eyes aren't tested individually.
