Is a Vision Test Required?

Yes. The DMV requires all applicants to pass a vision test as part of the application process. The test is usually administered at the DMV office. The results determine if you meet the minimum visual acuity requirements.

What Vision Do You Need to Get a Driver's License in Texas?

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, you must have a minimum visual acuity of 20/70 in at least one eye, with or without correction. If you wear glasses or contacts, you may use them during the test, but you must wear them while driving if your license indicates you require corrective lenses.

It's important to note that even if you meet the minimum visual acuity requirements, you may still be required to wear corrective lenses while driving.
If you're concerned about your vision and want to ensure that you'll pass the DMV's vision test, schedule an eye exam with a qualified optometrist.
