Vision restrictions for noncommercial driving licensing vary from state to state. [1]The table below provides a summary of the restrictions on best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and visual field degrees for each state. This content is primarily obtained from each state’s department of motor vehicles agency and is current at time of publication. Please note that this information is subject to change.

Disease Entity

Disease

According to the National Institutes of Health, low vision is defined as a best corrected visual acuity less than 20/40 (equivalent to 0.30 LogMAR) in the better-seeing eye. [2] In contrast, the World Health Organization defines low vision as BCVA of 20/60 to 20/200 or visual field <20 degrees in the better seeing eye.[1] There are many causes of low vision, including macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, eye trauma, and brain injury.[3] Diagnosis of low vision is established by visual acuity examinations using the LogMAR chart, which is preferred over the Snellen chart due to improved accuracy.[4] Each state requires visual acuity measurements for licensure, and almost all set the minimum BCVA requirement to 20/40. However, there is greater variation with visual field requirements, and some states do not require any visual field testing for licensure. [1]

Prevalence of low vision increases with age, according to 2010 U.S. data obtained by the NIH.[2] Black and Hispanic populations have a higher prevalence of low vision than White populations, and this difference becomes more pronounced after the age of 80. The total number of people in the U.S. affected by low vision is expected to rise over the next 30 years for all ethnicities.[2] Consequently, there will be a greater need for low vision information and services in the U.S. over the next several decades.
