Can You Get a Driver's License with Blindness in One Eye?
1 Answers
Whether you can obtain a driver's license with blindness in the left eye depends on the condition of the right eye. According to the regulations issued in 2016, individuals with monocular vision impairment can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission vehicles if their right eye's naked or corrected vision reaches 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, and their horizontal visual field reaches 150 degrees. It is necessary to first undergo a medical examination to check the condition of the right eye. Below are the requirements for obtaining a driver's license: Age requirements: Applicants for small cars or small automatic transmission vehicles must be at least 18 years old, while a truck driver's license requires the applicant to be at least 21 years old. Height requirements: For all vehicle types, the maximum age limit is 70 years old. The height requirement is at least 1.55 meters for large vehicles and at least 1.50 meters for cars. Certain medical conditions disqualify applicants: Individuals with organic heart disease, epilepsy, Ménière's disease, hysteria, dementia, or neurological diseases affecting limb movement are not eligible to obtain a driver's license. Traffic violations: Those whose driver's license was revoked due to traffic violations can reapply after 2 years. Those whose license was revoked due to causing a traffic accident can reapply after 3 years. Those whose license was revoked due to drunk driving can reapply after 5 years.
