§ Mrs. MayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport when the DVLA research project into visual field eye tests will be completed; and when the results of the study will be published. [64348]
§ Mr. JamiesonTwo complementary research studies are in progress.
One study uses subjects with peripheral visual field defects and assesses their performance in a range of tasks that may be relevant to driving impairment. The report on this study is likely to be available in mid 2003.
The other study is similarly examining the effect of visual field loss in the central area of the field. The report of this study is likely to be available towards the end of 2003.
