What are the vision requirements for obtaining a driver's license?
2 Answers
Vision requirements for obtaining a driver's license: 1. For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tram driving models, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; 2. For applicants of other driving models, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Other physical condition requirements for obtaining a driver's license: Height: For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybus driving models, the height must be 155 cm or above; for applicants of medium-sized bus driving models, the height must be 150 cm or above. Both thumbs must be sound, and each hand must have three other sound fingers, with normal limb and finger movement functions.
The vision requirements for obtaining a driver's license mainly fall into two aspects. During the physical examination, you need to ensure that the visual acuity of either eye (or corrected vision) reaches 4.9 or above. Testing with glasses or contact lenses is acceptable – several of my friends passed wearing glasses. Additionally, absolute color blindness to red and green is disqualifying; the medical examiner will use those colored dot pattern tests, and failure to recognize the numbers means immediate rejection. If you've had myopia correction surgery, remember to bring your medical records as proof. In some regions, the rearview mirror positions on exam vehicles aren't optimally placed, so those with borderline vision should practice adapting during training to avoid fumbling during Subject 2 and 3 tests. Final reminder: if your vision deteriorates below 4.9 after obtaining the license, it's considered unlicensed driving. It's advisable to check your vision chart annually.
