Service Description

The Snellen Vision Test is a standard eye exam used to measure visual acuity, or how clearly a person can see at a distance. This test is required for DOT physical exams to ensure that CDL drivers and other safety-sensitive employees meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) vision standards for driving. At DOT Express Las Vegas, we provide accurate and efficient Snellen Vision Testing to help commercial drivers maintain their CDL medical certification and ensure road safety. What is the Snellen Vision Test? The Snellen test is an eye exam that measures a person’s ability to see details at a standard distance. It uses a Snellen eye chart, which consists of letters or symbols in descending sizes, displayed at a 20-foot distance. During the test, the individual will: Stand 20 feet away from the Snellen chart while covering one eye at a time. Read the smallest line of letters or symbols they can see. Repeat the test with both eyes together. The results are recorded as a fraction (e.g., 20/20, 20/40, etc.), indicating how well the person sees compared to normal vision. A result of 20/40 or better in at least one eye is required to pass a DOT physical exam without needing corrective lenses or further evaluation. Why is the Snellen Vision Test Important? Ensures CDL drivers meet FMCSA vision standards for safe driving. Identifies potential vision problems that could affect a driver's ability to read road signs, spot hazards, and operate vehicles safely. Helps determine if corrective lenses are needed for driving certification. Detects early signs of vision impairment, such as nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia).
