Question 1

what is the worst vision you can have and still pass a driving test?

Accepted Answer

20/200: If your vision is 20/200 or worse, you are not allowed to schedule a driving test. 20/200 means that what you see something at 20 feet looks like what someone [with normal vision] sees at 200 feet.

Hope this helps!

Question 2

is it possible to pass vision  driving trst with one good eye?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In most States, the criteria for a personal drivers license is good vision in the best eye only  (usually 20/40 or better).  So those who have lost one eye but have a good eye on the other side can get a license.  You cannot get a CDL with only one good eye.

Question 3

stable glaucoma. recently thought could be peripheral vision ioss driving. 3 recent field tests show no change. dr.has no explaination. am i paranoid?

Accepted Answer

Not paranoid: All with eye disease worry about losing sight.  While most glaucoma can be managed with little or no loss, some do go out of control.  Your ophthalmologist (you are not seeing an optometrist for this I hope?) did three fields with no loss.  This is strong evidence of good control and you are on a good medication (Cosopt).  Stick with this and express your fears to your doctor on next visit.

Question 4

glaucoma in 1 eye. damage to nerve. dr. said is controlled & field hasn't changed but i have noticed vision change when driving. why not show in test?
