Vision Requirements for Drivers
Eye Test Required
In Utah, an eye test is required on all original, renewal, lapsed, and replacement licenses.
Age Requirement
Drivers aged 65 and older must pass an eye test upon license renewal.
To pass the eye test, the division requires 20/40 vision and peripheral fields (side vision) of 90 degrees in at least one eye. If you fail to meet this standard with or without glasses, you will be required to get a Visual Examination form from your eye doctor.
Commercial drivers (CDL) need to have a distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 in each eye without corrective lenses or a visual acuity separately corrected to 20/40 or better with corrective lenses, a distant binocular acuity of at least 20/40 in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, and a field of vision of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian in each eye.
