Can You Get a Driver's License with Only One Eye?
1 Answers
It is possible to obtain a driver's license for certain vehicle types with just one eye meeting the requirements. The regulations specify that individuals with monocular vision impairment can apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, provided that the better eye has a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart and a horizontal field of vision of at least 150 degrees. Vision Requirements for a Driver's License: Applicants for a driver's license must meet the following vision standards: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, both eyes must have a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, both eyes must have a naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; applicants must also not have red-green color blindness. These requirements align with the vision tests conducted during the driving school medical examination. Conditions for Obtaining a Driver's License: To apply for a license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, or light motorcycles, applicants must be between 18 and 70 years old. For low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old.
