Can You Get a Driver's License with One Eye?
2 Answers
You can get a driver's license with one eye. Here are some situations where you cannot obtain a driver's license: 1. Drunk driving leading to license revocation: According to relevant regulations in China, if your driver's license is revoked due to drunk driving, you cannot take the driver's license test for 5 years. If it involves drunk driving a commercial vehicle, you are banned from taking the test for 10 years. 2. People with certain illnesses: Serious illnesses do not refer to all diseases, but rather sudden conditions such as heart disease. 3. Hit-and-run offenders: If you flee after causing a traffic accident, the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke your motor vehicle driver's license, and you will be permanently disqualified from obtaining a driver's license again.
I've been driving for over a decade and have seen many friends successfully obtain their driver's license with vision in only one eye, as long as the other eye meets the visual acuity requirements. Typically, either uncorrected or corrected vision needs to be above 0.8. The transportation department conducts strict tests, including a visual field examination, to ensure you have approximately 180 degrees of vision for safe driving. If your monocular vision meets the standards and you pass the tests, you can get your license. However, remember to have regular vision check-ups to avoid blurred vision when driving at night. Some people mistakenly believe that having vision in only one eye disqualifies you from driving, but as long as you stay focused, adjust your rearview mirrors properly, and prioritize safety, driving is perfectly manageable.
