You now have to make an appointment on yet another of your dwindling days off to see a doctor at an external clinic, have him dilate your eyes in addition to the normal Ishihara and visual acuity test. You cannot drive for 4 hours so taxi's each way there and back home. Print the forms out yourself, white background photo etc, etc.

(It is not a glaucoma test as there are no drops administered for that, merely a pressure reading, if elevated can cause damage to the optic nerve.)
