What Does the RTO Driving License Eye Test Check?
Road safety depends critically on accurate vision. Our certified eye test includes:
1. Visual Acuity (Distance & Near)
Tested using standard Snellen charts at 6 meters. RTO requires minimum 6/12 vision in each eye (or combined 6/9 with or without glasses). If you wear spectacles, bring them along.
2. Color Blindness (Ishihara Test)
Evaluation using Ishihara 38 Plates to verify red, green, and amber traffic signal discrimination, ensuring safe day and night driving.
3. Peripheral Field of Vision
Verification of broad horizontal visual fields to confirm you have adequate peripheral awareness to detect pedestrians, cyclists, and passing vehicles.
4. Night Blindness (Nyctalopia)
Screening for contrast sensitivity and night vision impairment to prevent hazardous low-light driving complications.
