You pass your DMV vision test while wearing your prescription glasses. What does the manual say will appear on your driver's license?
-
A.
A note listing your prescription strength.
-
B.
A referral to schedule an eye doctor exam.
-
C.
A corrective lenses restriction. Correct
The answer is "A corrective lenses restriction."
Passing the vision test in corrective or contact lenses adds a corrective lenses restriction to your driver's license, and you must then wear the correction whenever you drive. Choice B is what the manual prescribes when a driver fails the vision test; drivers who lean on the rule of thumb that any DMV eye-test outcome routes through an eye doctor swap the two.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A note listing your prescription strength.
The license carries a corrective lenses restriction, not prescription figures; the DMV records that you need correction, not the specific numbers behind it. This answer assumes the license spells out prescription detail because a driver's other medical IDs and eyeglass paperwork already carry those figures.
B. A referral to schedule an eye doctor exam.
The manual only sends drivers to an eye doctor after they fail the vision test; passing in glasses simply adds the restriction to the license. This answer guesses the DMV writes a referral because the failed-test path uses one, and both outcomes involve corrective lenses somewhere along the way.
