All i can say is i lost both my legs above knee 3 and a bit years agoand the first thing i did was get in touch with dvla and my doctor and all agreed i was fit to drive and i kept my licence.

Re: Lorry driver having lost an eye loseing his hgv entitlem by Juddian » Fri Feb 15, pm I've got a gammy eye due to accident damage when i was a nipper, fortunately as the accident happened when i was little i adapated to it and have excellent vision in the one good eye and still good peripheral vision in the damaged one.
Timescale is the thing, i took my licence 36 years ago and the sight requirements changed since can't give you a date and my sight hasn't deteriorated since, so i keep my licence through grandfather rights Your mate's sight has been damaged more recently so a different set of rules may apply.
As to some of the above comments about shouldn't be driving etc, i see the antics and incompetence of the younger perfect specimins every bloody day and the accident damage they cause even when they can apparently see like The Terminator, so don't be coming the old 'it shouldn't be allowed' routine.

Heaven has a wall and strict immigration policies. Hell has open borders. Well I've been down this road before it's been one hell of a ride. The challenge is balance on that fine line between the earth and sky.
Standards of vision required for driving. The basic eyesight standard required for driving is simple. To drive a car legally in the UK you must be able to read a car number plate from a distance of 20 metres. This chart is used to measure visual acuity, your central vision that you use to see detail. This is half the distance, hence the conversion to the decimal 0. Driving test eyesight check. Your provisional driving licence will also be revoked.
Online driving eyesight tests. There are a number of online driving eyesight tests that you can find on the Internet that may give you some idea if there is a problem with your eyesight. A better course of action is to test yourself by trying to read a car number plate from 20 metres and contacting your doctor and the DVLA if you struggle to do so. If you believe that your eyesight has diminished to the point that you are no longer safe to drive, or if you have any concerns that this could be the case, you should not drive a car.
See a doctor and have your eyesight evaluated before getting behind the wheel. The DVLA publishes a list of health conditions that can affect your driving that may be useful to check whether you need to contact them.
