Since the January 2022 vision standard rule, an interstate commercial driver who cannot meet the acuity or field standard in the worse eye can still be certified, at least annually, if an ophthalmologist or optometrist first completes this three-page report. It records acuity, formal perimetry, color recognition, stability and adaptation; the medical examiner makes the qualification decision.
An ophthalmologist or optometrist completes all 14 items and signs the attestation with license number and state; the driver supplies name, license number and date of birth.

Vision Evaluation Report
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

A driver who has monocular vision as FMCSA defines it, or who did not meet the vision standard at a physical exam: the worse eye has corrected acuity below 20/40, a horizontal field under 70 degrees, or both. The report is required before each exam, at least annually.
The medical examiner must begin the physical qualification exam no more than 45 days after the ophthalmologist or optometrist signs and dates the report. A newly completed report is needed before each required exam.
No. The ophthalmologist or optometrist reports findings and opinions on stability and adaptation. Whether the driver meets the vision standard and is physically qualified is decided by a medical examiner on FMCSA's National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners.
