Thank you for your enquiry received on x/x/2017.
Your case reference number is xxxxxxxx.

I appreciate your concern regarding this matter and contacting us to seek clarification on the matter.
You are not legally required to inform us if you have had a change in your eyesight which means you:

no longer need to wear glasses

now need to wear glasses while driving

However, if you want this information updated on your licence you will need to return your driving licence with a completed application form and a covering letter.


01 is an information code. The test is reading a number plate at 20/20.5m irrespective of the code.
