Vision Problem and DMV Requirements?

Question

I went to the DMV a few weeks ago to renew my license, and I had to take an eye test. Well, I failed it. I basically have 20/70 vision overall, with 20/70 in my right eye. They didn't text my left. So now I have to see an eye doctor to get my eyes checked out, and get glasses.

Now, first time I have gone through this. Ill just get tested, and Ill get lenses, and glasses right? Then the California DMV should let me drive? I am scared to lose my license!

Answer 1

Go to an Optomitrist or Opthalmosist and they should be able to get you a prescription for a set of glasses to get you up to the minimum requirements to get a license, generally 20/40 or better.

The DMV will then put a contition/code on your license that you must wear corrective lenses when driving.

I have 20/30, but can "squint" and (temporarely) have 20/20 and while I wear contacts, have been able to keep the corrective lenses condition off my license.

Answer 2

Go to an optomaligist  They are eye doctors that don't have glasses for sale and if you dont need glasses they will give you a letter  mine did

Answer 3

Pass the test wearing your glasses or contact lenses and they will give you back your license. They may mark it with a restriction that you must wear corrective lenses while driving.
