When you return to the DMV with the DL 62 form, your vision will be retested. You will be given a Report of Vision Examination (DL 62) form for your eye doctor to complete and sign. You will be referred to a vision specialist (eye doctor) if your vision does not meet the DMV’s screening standard.

Since the machine tests for distance vision, you must look through the distance part of your glasses, if you wear bifocals. Please ask the employee to repeat the instructions if you do not understand them. The employee will guide you through each step of the exam. You will be asked to read lines of letters, first with both eyes open and then with each eye individually. If you have difficulty reading the eye chart, the employee will take you to a vision testing machine. The DMV does not want to restrict your driver license if it is not necessary. If you are wearing glasses and your driver license is not restricted, the employee will ask you to remove your glasses. However, your driver license will be restricted to “corrective lenses.” You will not be asked to remove your contact lenses for the vision test. If you are wearing corrective contact lenses when your vision is checked, please tell the employee. If your driver license is already restricted for “corrective lenses,” you may take the vision test wearing your glasses or contact lenses. When it is time for your vision exam, the field office employee will ask you to read a line on an eye chart with both of your eyes open and then another line with each eye individually. All original or renewal driver license customers must take a vision test. The DMV needs to be sure that all drivers meet the minimum vision standards. You can help yourself by being well rested and bringing your new glasses or contact lenses if your prescription has changed since your last renewal. The DMV wants you to do well on your vision test.
