What to Do If You Fail the Vision Test During Driver's License Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
If you fail the vision test during your driver's license annual inspection, you can retake the physical examination with properly prescribed glasses, as the driver's license physical examination allows corrected vision and does not require uncorrected vision. According to regulations, applicants for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the uncorrected or corrected visual acuity must be at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For those with monocular vision impairment, if the better eye has uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart and a horizontal visual field of at least 150 degrees, they can apply for a driver's 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.
If you fail the vision test, as a friend who has been driving for many years, I suggest you visit an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Failing the vision test during the driver's license renewal is usually due to uncorrected vision problems, such as astigmatism or worsening myopia. First, get your vision tested, ask the doctor for a certificate, and then get a suitable pair of glasses or contact lenses. Bring this certificate back to the DMV for a retest, and you should generally pass. If it still doesn't work, don't rush to drive; you might need to take a break for a while until your eyes recover or consider surgery. I've seen many people ignore vision problems, leading to accidents while driving at night, which is quite dangerous. Remember to check your vision every six months as a habit.
