Driving after Optic Neuritis

So, I haven't driven a car in years, was never a confident driver and since optic neuritis never even tried getting behind the wheel.My vision recovered mostly in one eye but not completely in the other. I am not sure how to go back to driving. Do I have to tell DVLA or take another test?

Optic Neuritis

Dies anyone have any wisdom or information to share on Optic Neuritis? It was my 3rd relapse &the one that got me my diagnosis. Each time I’ve had a check up my neurologist seems to move the goalposts with how long it may last. I started with it in April 2021, it isn’t as bad but my vision still is...
