Got Vision Restrictions on Your Driver’s License?

A common question that our doctors and staff field from patients following LASIK surgery is how do I get the restrictions lifted from my driver’s license now that I can see without glasses or contacts?  Well, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Driver Licensing Division, “In order to have the vision restriction removed from a driver license, the driver will need to contact their local Circuit Clerk office to schedule a vision test, which will be given by the Kentucky State Police license examiner.  Upon passing the vision test, a new driver license will be issued without the restriction. In addition, it would also be a good idea to have the driver provide a letter from their eye doctor explaining that their vision has been surgically corrected.”
