Can You Obtain a Driver's License with Monocular Vision?
2 Answers
Monocular vision does not qualify for obtaining a driver's license. Below are relevant details about the examination subjects: Examination Subjects: Subject 1 is the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is the road driving skills test. Subject 4 covers safety and civilized driving knowledge. Important Notes: Subjects 1 and 4 can be scheduled for unlimited retakes. There are no restrictions on the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam or the safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test can only be taken after passing the Subject 3 road driving skills test. If you fail, you can directly apply for a retake, and the previously passed road driving skills test score remains valid.
As someone who loves driving, I know many people are concerned about obtaining a driver's license with monocular vision. Take my old friend for example—he lost sight in one eye due to an injury when he was young, but he later got his license quite smoothly. The key was passing the vision test, especially meeting the visual field requirement, which is around 150 degrees horizontally if I remember correctly. However, regulations vary by location—in big cities, for instance, regular medical check-ups are required. Safety always comes first when driving, so I’d recommend consulting a proper driving school; they can help arrange the necessary tests. Don’t stress too much about it—many people drive normally with monocular vision. The priority is ensuring your field of view is wide enough to accurately judge distances and react in time.
