Alaska DMV Vision Assessment Form (Vision Waiver)

Applicants who don't pass the Alaska DMV vision screening bring this one-page assessment to a physician or optometrist. The examiner records visual acuity in each eye and both eyes together, notes whether corrective lenses were used, answers whether the person can drive safely with current vision, and can recommend restrictions. Alaska's vision standards from 2 AAC 90.440 are printed beneath.

Who completes it

A physician or optometrist completes the whole form and adds name, title, signature, exam date and office details. The applicant only writes their name at the top.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Return the completed form to the applicant, who presents it at the DMV. It appears on the DMV forms page as the Vision Assessment Form, linked as the vision test waiver handout.
Who pays
The form lists no fee and says nothing about who pays for the eye exam.

Good to know

  • Restrictions you can recommend on the form are corrective lenses, outside mirrors and daylight driving only.
  • Best corrected vision of 20/50 to 20/100 in both eyes together requires an eye specialist exam; if vision can't improve, DMV may issue a Class D license limited by time, vehicle, area or speed.
  • DMV issues no driver's license below 20/100 best corrected in both eyes together, and a commercial license needs 20/40 or better.
  • A person with monocular vision may get a Class D license if the good eye meets the standards; DMV may require outside mirrors on both sides.
