Can I get a driver's license with 500-degree myopia?
2 Answers
When applying for a driver's license, the main focus is on your corrected vision. As long as your corrected vision reaches 4.9, you are eligible. Here is relevant information about the driver's license test: 1. Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can you obtain a driver's license and legally drive motor vehicles. 2. Content: The test for motor vehicle drivers is divided into three parts: the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (also known as the "theory test", referred to as "Subject 1"), the field driving skills test (commonly known as the "parking test", referred to as "Subject 2"), and the road driving skills and safe civilized driving common sense test (commonly known as the "road test", referred to as "Subject 3"). The test content and passing standards are unified nationwide, with corresponding test items specified according to different types of vehicles.
As someone with 500-degree myopia, I successfully obtained my driver's license last year. Wearing glasses during the physical examination, I easily passed the vision test. The driving instructor said they only check whether corrected vision is sufficient to see the charts clearly. With 500-degree myopia, glasses can correct vision to meet the passing standard, and uncorrected vision is not checked during the physical exam. I always wear glasses while driving to ensure clear visibility, which is crucial. I recommend asking the driving school about the specific process and getting a pair of suitable glasses—they don’t need to be expensive. I also take care to protect my eyes daily, avoiding prolonged eye strain while driving and getting regular vision check-ups to prevent deterioration. Take action without fear—myopia is not a barrier; safety and initiative are what matter most.
