Can You Get a Driver's License If One Eye Is Blind?
1 Answers
It is possible to obtain a driver's license if one eye is blind, but there are specific requirements for the vision in the better eye and the horizontal field of vision, as well as restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be driven. Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" states: For individuals with monocular vision impairment, if the naked or corrected vision in the better eye reaches 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, and the horizontal field of vision reaches 150 degrees, they can apply for a motor vehicle driving license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars specially designed for the disabled. To apply for a driving license for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the naked or corrected vision in both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other types of vehicles, the naked or corrected vision in both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Individuals with red-green color blindness cannot apply for any type of driving license.
