The visual field test done for the DVLA is using both eyes but the more accurate one for the NHS is done one eye at a time - I know because I do both

If having a NHS VF test then ask them to do a DVLA one on arrival then ask for a copy the immediate results - you can then scan that to keep a copy and send the NHS copy to the DVLA

Hmmm…So you’re saying that the NHS test is to a higher standard than the DVLA one ■■.. In my test at the opticians,they did each eye separately. Thinking about it,obviously my optician is aware of the 2 standard thing… Not sure that it’ll make any difference,but worth keeping in mind.

The same machine is used for testing using the same exact test but DVLA want two eyes open but the NHS test each eye seperately
