Can you retake the vision test before your road test appointment to update or remove a glasses restriction?

Yes, you can usually retake the vision test before your road test appointment. Here’s why and how:

• Why Retake:
  • Update Vision: If your vision has improved since the initial test, you can retake it to potentially remove the glasses restriction.
  • Remove Restriction: Even with minor vision corrections, some states allow driving without glasses if your vision meets specific criteria.
• How to Retake:
  1. Contact Your DMV: Inquire about the process for retaking the vision test.
     • Schedule: Many DMVs allow you to schedule a vision test appointment, often in conjunction with your road test.
  2. Visit an Eye Doctor (Optional): If you believe your vision has improved, consider a visit to an eye doctor. They can provide an updated prescription and potentially confirm your vision meets driving standards.

Important Notes:

• State-Specific Rules: Vision test requirements and procedures vary by state.
• Glasses Restriction: If the initial test required glasses, you’ll likely need to wear them during the retake unless you have specific documentation from an eye doctor.
