Being over 70, I have to have a DVLA eye test every three years. I have no problem with that, apart from their ridiculous attitude! As I have interocular hypertension, controlled by eyedrops (higher than normal eye pressure - NOT glaucoma), I am monitored every six to eight months at the hospital. Last Friday, I had my hospital check that declared the pressures normal, vision excellent with full fields of vision in both eyes. 
Was this good enough for the DVLA? - No, I have to go to a DVLA testing centre that supposedly has superior equipment to the hospital 
This test centre turns out to be Specsavers! 
Even so, I would not have minded, but can I go to the local one? NO, I have to take a 1 hour bus journey to another town! 
Wonder if anyone else has come up against this?
