Hey, everyone.. I'm hoping to enroll in school within the next month or so. I use glasses to see, but I was told by someone that they don't let you use glasses or contacts for the DOT eye exam. Is this true, or will I be able to take the test with glasses on?
Thanks,
Scott P

What does DMV say?Do your own research for the correct information.

Just go take the test and when its vision time throw your glasses on like a boss and tell them to stick it.
SPcbr, pologang859 and bottomdumpin Thank this. -
It's usually noted on the license itself, right?
flood Thanks this. -
Yes, its on both your license and medical card that you must have vision correction while driving.

Do u have to have 20/40 vision
-
Below is taken right from the medical form. I think it about covers it.
INSTRUCTIONS: When other than the Snellen chart is used, give test results in Snellen-comparable values. In recording distance vision, use 20 feet as normal. Report visual acuity as a ratio with 20 as numerator and the smallest type read at 20 feet as denominator. If the applicant wears corrective lenses, these should be worn while visual acuity is being tested. If the driver habitually wears contact lenses, or intends to do so while driving, sufficient evidence of good tolerance and adaptation to their use must be obvious. Monocular drivers are not qualified.
Standard: At least 20/40 acuity (Snellen) in each eye with or without correction. At least 70 degrees peripheral in horizontal meridian measured in each eye. The use of corrective lenses should be noted on the Medical Examiner's Certificate.SPcbr Thanks this. -
