A member asked:

I was detected astigmatism, i would like to know if i have no problem driving a car?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends.: As long as your vision is correctable to 20/40 or better in California, your should be able to get a driver’s license. It does not matter if you are nearsighted, farsighted or have astigmatism.
