All non-commercial Class E driver's, learner's restricted and motorcycle license applicants must take the vision test when applying at a Florida driver's license office. You must also take a vision test each time you renew a license. The driver's license office staff use an eye machine to administer the test. If you need glasses or contact lenses to pass the vision exam, you receive a corrective lenses endorsement on your license and can only drive with your glasses or contact lenses.

Test Requirements

You can meet state vision requirements without having to visit an eye specialist if you have 20/40 or better vision in each eye with or without corrective lenses. If you have worse than 20/40 vision, you can still get a license if your vision is:

• 20/50 or worse and you see an eye specialist who can improve your eyesight.
  
• 20/70 in either eye or both eyes with or without corrective lenses after referral to an eye specialist, as long as the vision in the worst eye is better than 20/200.
  
• 20/200 or worse in one eye but the other eye is 20/40 or better.
  

After seeing an eye specialist, you'll have to submit a Report of Eye Exam, filled out and signed by the eye specialist giving his assessment of your vision and ability to drive.

Tips

Color blindness does not require special endorsements on your license.

Warnings

Telescopic lenses do not count as vision correction in Florida.
