Can People with High Myopia Learn to Drive?

[PresleyMarie]

People with high myopia can drive as long as they wear glasses, but it is recommended to avoid driving at night if possible. High myopia refers to a refractive error characterized by a degree of myopia greater than 600 diopters, accompanied by axial elongation and degenerative changes such as atrophy of the retina and choroid. Below is additional information: 1. Vision requirements for large vehicles: To apply for a driver's license for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the naked or corrected visual acuity of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other types of vehicles, the naked or corrected visual acuity of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 2. Precautions for driving with myopia: Slow down when driving at night, as visibility is lower; avoid unnecessary accidents. Wear properly fitted glasses; people with myopia should visit a regular hospital to select glasses with the appropriate prescription, and their corrected vision must reach 4.9 or above.
