What are the vision requirements for obtaining a driver's license?
2 Answers
The vision requirements for obtaining a driver's license are: 1. For applicants applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or tram driving licenses, the naked eye or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; 2. For applicants applying for other types of driving licenses, the naked eye or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; 3. No red-green color blindness. The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driving license, which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Driving without a license is not allowed on the road.
I remember when I took the driving test a few years ago, the vision check was a mandatory step. The doctor told me that the corrected vision must reach above 0.8, meaning you should be able to see the 0.8 line on the eye chart with glasses or contact lenses. For regular cars, the naked eye vision requirement is around 0.6, but it's okay if you can't see clearly without glasses, as long as you meet the standard with your own glasses. The key point is that you must not have red-green color blindness because driving requires recognizing traffic lights. During the test, they will also ask you to look at colored dot patterns to distinguish colors. It's advisable to go to a hospital in advance for a vision check and get suitable glasses. The physical examination is usually done at the institution designated by the driving school, so don't wait until the last minute and delay your learning process. Better vision ensures safer driving; otherwise, unclear road signs can easily lead to accidents. My friend got stuck because of this. Pay more attention to eye health, and getting a driver's license will be smoother.
