The DVLA will let me drive (I still have a valid license for both until the end of the year), but my common sense and the advice of my consultant at Moorfields would have it otherwise.
Do you mind if I ask what your condition is called sounds very similar to what I've got wrong with my right eye. My condition is called "Coates Diesease"

I think you're being very sensible in giving up by the way
