Connecticut DMV P-142OP: Eye Care Medical Report

Connecticut DMV uses this 2-page report when a patient has been referred over their ability to drive safely and vision is part of the question. The eye care professional records uncorrected and corrected acuity, monocular vision, blind spots, horizontal fields, hemianopsia and color vision, then gives clinical findings and safety recommendations; page 2 reprints Connecticut's vision regulations.

Who completes it

The patient completes Section A. A licensed physician, optometrist or ophthalmologist completes Sections B, C and D, the eye findings, clinical information and the signed examiner's certification.

Good to know

  • Unrestricted licensing needs 20/40 in the better eye and a 140 degree binocular or 100 degree monocular horizontal field; 20/40 to 20/70 can allow daylight-only driving.
  • No license is issued at 20/200 or worse in the better eye, or with a binocular field under 100 degrees or monocular under 70.
  • If best corrected vision is 20/70 or worse, state the cause; if there are blind spots, attach the visual field results.
  • Drivers who need telescopic lenses use the separate bioptic form P-142B; certify a personal exam within 90 days of the report.

Frequently asked questions

Who can complete the Connecticut P-142OP?

A licensed physician, optometrist or ophthalmologist completes Sections B, C and D based on a personal examination within 90 days. Reporting is authorized by Section 14-46 of the General Statutes, and no civil action can be brought against anyone who reports in good faith.

What if my patient uses bioptic telescopic lenses?

Section B says that if telescopic lenses are required for driving, complete form P-142B as well. Connecticut regulation 14-45a-4 allows a license for drivers who wear bioptic lenses if they otherwise meet the vision standards reprinted on page 2.
