can any body tell me what. glasses I should wear for my dvla test

[NewSh0e]

hi there I just wore my standard single vision glasses that I use for driving. Hope that helps

Specsavers have always told me I had to wear glasses I wear for driving even though this makes the test more difficult for me. Recently seen DVLA advice on here that they do not recommend wearing glasses as frames can interfere with results. Maybe someone on here can confirm what we are supposed to do?

NewSh0e is correct insofar as your sharpness of vision (visual acuity) will be assessed using a conventional test chart, so yes, whatever you use for driving is appropriate. DVLA also advises thaat these are worn for the visual field test, but just as with the VF tests at hospital where a close work correction is used, you should use reading specs ideally for the DVLA test. You are permitted three attempts so ensure at least one is using a close work correction, or varifocals are a second best. Search back for my guidance I submitted a few months ago.
