I have a severely damaged left eye that required 4 bouts of surgery to nail the retina back on... thanks to rugby & judo...
Consequently, even though I have perfect eyesight (thank you NHS & Moorfields!), I have annual checks - I now work in Dubai - one of the reasons I agreed to come here is that there is a full Moorfields hospital here (you don't have much time to get to a specialist hospital if it goes wrong again - too late, and the sight in the eye is gone for good).
So, my doc had to inform the DVLA - they really aren't bothered...
When I came out to the UAE, I had to have an eye test here before I could get my Emirates driving license...
I was sat about 2 meters from a wall on which there were some letters about 5 cm high.
"Can you read those letters".
"Yes"
"You've passed. Please hand over AED 150" (about GBP 35).
Mind you, they all drive like complete lunatics here....
