What is the vision requirement for a driver's license medical examination?
2 Answers
The naked eye vision or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. If the vision test fails, the following solutions are available: 1. Wear glasses. If you know you are nearsighted, you can wear glasses with the appropriate prescription and retake the medical examination, as the driver's license medical examination allows corrected vision and does not require naked eye vision. 2. Corrected vision. For those who cannot meet the naked eye vision requirement for the test, there is no need to be discouraged, as the vision requirement for the driver's license test in China is corrected vision, not naked eye vision. Therefore, when applying for a driver's license, you can promptly visit a professional eye hospital for examination and correction. 3. Retake the medical examination at a hospital. If you fail the vision test at the driving school, you can also take the test at a designated hospital. Generally, the vehicle management office will designate several local hospitals where you can undergo the medical examination. If the examination results are satisfactory, you can bring the medical examination form and relevant payment receipts back to the driving school.
I have worked at a driving school for many years, helping many people prepare for their driver's license medical exams. The vision requirement is that uncorrected or corrected vision must be at least 4.9 on the E-chart, which is equivalent to 5.0 on the logarithmic chart. Each eye must meet the standard to ensure clear vision when driving. On the day of the medical exam, many people forget to bring their glasses, leading to retests and wasted time. Corrected vision is allowed, so wearing glasses properly will help you pass. Besides vision, the medical exam also checks color perception to ensure the ability to distinguish traffic light colors, which is crucial for nighttime driving safety. I recommend getting a vision check before the exam, getting a new pair of glasses if needed, and taking care of your eyes daily by avoiding prolonged phone use. Passing the exam with good vision will make driving safer. Regular vision check-ups can help prevent accident risks.
