you meet the minimum eyesight requirement
you aren’t prevented from driving for any reason
Once you reach 70, you must renew every 3 years.

You can change the licence photo at the same time as renewing your licence.'

My grandparents did this but all they had to do was fill in a form and I think they got it signed by their doctor. My grandfather really wasn't safe to drive; I mean, hell would of frozen over before he could of got round to doing an emergency stop. He drove like he walked- slowly and indecisively.

If the police had seen him driving dangerously or if he'd caused an accident, the police could of insisted on a test re-take but he carried on driving dangerously until he was 83 and fortunately never killed anyone, though I'm sure he caused a lot of road rage

Edited to say, I loved my granddad, just hated his driving.
