2 Answers
The following are the vision requirements for different vehicle types: 1. Large vehicles: For applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tram driving licenses, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 2. Other vehicle types: For applying for other driving licenses, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. 3. Special circumstances: For those with monocular vision impairment, if the better eye's naked or corrected vision reaches 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, and the horizontal field of vision reaches 150 degrees, they can apply for a motor vehicle driving license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars specially designed for the disabled.
The vision requirements for the driver's license medical examination, I remember being really nervous last year when I took it. The examination was at the driving school's designated location, and the doctor had me check the eye chart both with and without glasses. My uncorrected or corrected vision had to reach at least 4.9 on the logarithmic chart or 0.8 by international standards. I'm nearsighted, so I passed easily with glasses, but they also tested for color blindness by showing me colored dot patterns to see if I could distinguish traffic lights. The doctor emphasized safety first—poor vision increases the risk of missing road signs and causing accidents. If your vision is weak, just wear glasses or contacts, and don’t worry, you can retest if needed. Protect your eyes daily by reducing screen time, and be extra cautious when driving in low light—these small details can prevent accidents on the road.
