Driving with Glaucoma

Guidance on driving with glaucoma and when the DVLA needs to be notified in the UK.

Many people with glaucoma continue to drive safely for the rest of their lives. However, if the visual field becomes significantly affected — particularly in both eyes — the DVLA in the UK requires you to notify them.

The DVLA arranges a formal visual field test at approved centres and makes an independent decision about your fitness to drive. We will guide you through this process if and when it becomes relevant, and will provide any medical information that is needed.
