Dear Mike
It is my understanding that medical would only go as far as the snellens
(new chart) after that its over to an optician. I will be glad to be
corrected. DVLA INF4 states.......
Eyesight standards are explained in section D, point 1, Eyesight.
* Only complete the Vision assessment if you are able to fully and accurately complete ALL the questions. If you are unable to do this you must tell the applicant that they will need to arrange to have this part of the assessment completed by an optician or optometrist. You must be able to measure the applicant's visual acuity to at least 6/7.5 (decimal
0.8) of a Snellen chart (you may need to purchase a new Snellen chart in order to do this). You must also convert any 3 metre readings to the 6 metre equivalent. We will also accept the LogMAR equivalent. You must confirm which measurement scale has been used on the D4 medical

Dear Janet,
I am aware of the changes, but wanted to know how it is going to be implmented. The only machine that does glare testing is the keytone drivers one, as far as I am aware. Does anyone know of a 'cheap' device for measuring dioptres ?
Mike.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] D4 Changes
As some of you are aware, the DVLA has been proposing changes to the vision testing for LGV drivers.
They have released a press release that states that this came in on 8th March 2013 ! (Thanks for the warning DVLA !) How are you dealing with these changes ? Your views on how you are dealing with this would be appreciated as there is confusion all around, including mixed messages coming out of the DVLA mdeical section. Thanks, Mike
