DMV vision tests include exams and assessments to determine a person’s vision needs about safely and legally using a motor vehicle. Tests evaluate how well a person can see objects at different distances and under different conditions, as well as measuring some other factors that can affect vision and driving, like color perception. DMV vision tests are focused specifically on vision needs as they relate to driving, and are not as inclusive as a comprehensive vision exam. DMV exams can also determine if a person has other vision issues, like problems driving at night, so special lenses can be prescribed when needed.
