I can see where loss of driving privileges can be a real downer. I'73 and have been a T1 for 53 years and have had laser procedures for retinopathy. My license is due in a couple of months and I too am concerned at this point as I have been every time for renewal. But I know of people that are missing/blind in one eye and can still drive. Wondering if there is a class one can take on how to deal with vision limitations to compensate? Or an accessory, or repositioning of mirrors to aid in the peripheral deficit? Sorry I can't give you a direct path to on. Wishing you the best.

@drlundeen the last time I had an eye exam there was this type of information playing on screens in the waiting room plus brochures and pamphlets available to take. My husband and father-in-law routinely purchased side mirrors that had features to improve peripheral vision and blind spot areas. My husband got the most recent ones on Amazon.
