Hello Lynda,
I would assume that if anything happens to either their Specs or their eyes they would not meet the DVLA vision standards as laid down in what was the 'Red Book' (http://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/medical.aspx).
If they can meet the minimum DVLA standards without correction they are legally able to drive.
If they can't meet the DVLA standards without correction they should not be driving at all as they are not legal.
Needless to say if you apply the above criteria, a 2nd standard is both undesirable and unnecessary.
Regards, Bob

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Vision standards
Does anyone have a 2nd standard for vision that must be achieved for driving when the first standard is met by wearing spectacles ie a standard that these individuals meet if something happened to their spectacles or eye/s?
If you do what sort of job would it apply to and why. I do voluntary drivers medicals and they want to introduce this standard.
Many thanks
Lynda
