Can You Get a Driver's License with Poor Eyesight?
1 Answers
Yes, you can get a driver's license with poor eyesight. If your corrected vision (with glasses) reaches 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, you can apply for a Class C license. However, if you have amblyopia in one or both eyes, with uncorrected vision below 4.9 and no possibility of correction, you do not meet the requirements for a driver's license and cannot take the test. For large buses, medium buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the uncorrected or corrected vision must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" stipulate in Article 12 that applicants for a motor vehicle driving license must meet the following vision requirements: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the uncorrected or corrected vision must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the uncorrected or corrected vision must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Therefore, if your uncorrected vision does not meet the standard, you can still qualify for a driver's license by wearing glasses or other corrective measures to achieve 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Driver's license test requirements for physical examination: Height: For large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses, the height must be at least 155 cm. For medium buses, the height must be at least 150 cm. Vision requirements: For large buses, medium buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the uncorrected or corrected vision (with glasses) must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the uncorrected or corrected vision must reach 4.9 or above. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. Hearing: Must be able to distinguish the direction of sound at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork in each ear. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal movement and function. Lower limbs: Normal movement function. For manual transmission vehicles, the difference in leg length must not exceed 5 cm. For automatic transmission vehicles, the right lower limb must be intact. Torso and neck: No movement dysfunction. Driver's license test content: Subject 1: After registration, applicants must attend a face-to-face lecture before scheduling the Subject 1 test. Subject 1 is a written test consisting of 100 multiple-choice and true/false questions, with one point per question. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. Subject 2: Subject 2 consists of five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, curve driving, and right-angle turns. The test is scored out of 100, with a passing score of 80 or above. Subject 3: Subject 3 is a road test that includes preparation before driving, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting, lane changing, parking, passing through intersections, left and right turns, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, and simulated lighting operations. Subject 4: Subject 4 can be taken the day after passing Subject 3. It consists of 50 questions, including multiple-choice and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100. A score of 90 or above is required to pass.
