I suffer from night vision and would like some information about getting a license.
================
Do you need to wear corrective lenses?
Yes, what does it mean?
In that case a "B" restriction will be placed on your driver license or learner permit.
================
How long is my eye test results good for?
In general, if the Vision Test Report MV-619 has a print date of 9/03 or earlier, it is valid for 6 months after the date of the eye test.
================
Do I need to take an eye exam every time I renew my license?
Yes you must pass a vision test when you apply for a driver license or to renew your license.
================
What about if my son needs telescopic lenses?
In that case he must send a completed Eye Test Report for Medical Review Unit form MV-80L to the DMV 's Medical Review Unit. Eventually a "TELESCOPIC LENSES" restriction will be placed on his driver license.
What counts as telescopic lenses?
Telescopic lenses are corrective lenses that are much more powerful than normal eyeglasses or contact lenses.
================
What grade counts as acceptable on a vision test for the DMV?
You must have visual acuity of at least 20/40 based on the Snellen Visual Acuity Scale in either or both eyes, with or without corrective lenses.
================
I see that my vision test report has a later date than 9/03, what now?
Your vision care professional should mark a box on the form to indicate if the form is valid for 6 months or for 12 months after the date of the eye test.
