Department of Motor Vehicles<\/p><\/div>\n

New York motorists who skipped a vision test when renewing their drivers licenses during the pandemic risk having their licenses suspended.<\/p>\n

The State Department of Motor Vehicles<\/strong> has sent warnings to nearly 150,000 drivers who took the option to defer \u2014 but not skip \u2014 the vision test requirement.<\/p>\n

The DMV has sent repeated notices to affected drivers over the last two years and a more urgent notice in recent days.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19<\/strong> pandemic had forced the closing of many DMV offices; many eye doctors\u2019 offices were also closed at the time. To reduce lines at DMV offices, the state allowed drivers to \u201cself-certify their vision\u201d when renewing online a license that expired between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2021.<\/p>\n

Drivers who received the recent notices to get eye exams have several options. They may submit proof of a vision test already taken, submit proof of a vision test by a provider on the DMV\u2019s list of approved providers, see a provider not on the list by having the provider complete a Vision Test Report, go to a DMV office to complete the test, or visit the DMV website for a different process to renew a commercial driver\u2019s license<\/p>\n
