Can I Renew My Driver's License If One Eye Fails the Physical Exam?
1 Answers
If your driver's license is about to expire and you have lost vision in one eye due to special circumstances, you can still renew your driver's license, but you must pass the physical exam first. However, if you originally held a C1 or higher-level license, you may not pass the physical exam because higher-level licenses have stricter vision requirements. In this case, you can only apply for a license below C1. Additional details are as follows: 1. Vision requirements for driver's licenses: Current regulations on driving conditions for people with disabilities have gradually relaxed. Even if one eye is blind, you can still apply for a driver's license. According to the rules, if you have monocular vision impairment, the other eye must have a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0, and the horizontal field of vision must reach 150 degrees. Under these conditions, you can apply for a license for small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, or small automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for people with disabilities. 2. Color blindness disqualifies applicants: Note that since monocular color blindness is rare and most cases involve binocular color blindness, individuals with color blindness cannot take the driving test.
