Renewing your driving licence can be stressful — but your visual field test doesn’t have to be. The Esterman Visual Field Test is the assessment recommended by the DVLA to ensure your peripheral vision is safe for driving.

At our practice, we use the Zeiss Humphrey Perimeter, recognised globally as the ‘gold standard’ in visual field testing. This advanced technology lets us quickly and accurately check the sensitivity of your vision across 120 points, just as the DVLA requires.

We’ll guide you through the process step by step, making the test straightforward and stress-free. Results are sent securely and promptly to the DVLA, helping keep your driving record up to date without unnecessary delays.
