Vision Standards for Driving Licences

In Singapore, drivers of all vehicle classes

  • Under 65 years old
    Drivers of all vehicle classes must undergo a vision test at driving centres before obtaining their driving license
  • 65 years and above
    For Class 2 and 3 categories, drivers must undergo a medical exam once every 3 years to be certified fit to drive
  • License Renewal
    If you are a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident (PR), you will not need to renew your licence until you turn 65.

Having good eyesight is not only crucial to ensure your safety (as well as others' safety) while you are on the road—it is also required by law.

Visual Capabilities Required

Your vision must be sufficient to:

  • Maintain a clear central and peripheral view
  • Read road signs and traffic signals
  • Avoid road hazards and obstructions
  • Be mindful of pedestrians and other vehicles
  • Judge distances between you and the vehicle in front of you
  • Have clear night vision

To pass the assessment, drivers must ensure:

  • Satisfactory visual acuity
  • Adequate colour vision (able to distinguish red, green, and amber)
  • No significant visual field defects
  • No double vision of any degree
