The screenings will be mandatory for drivers seeking to renew their licenses.
“Multiple states have adopted mandatory vision screenings to ensure drivers have the visual acuity required to operate a vehicle safely,” the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet website said.
Drivers are also able to have the exams done by their vision specialist. The cabinet said a form has to be completed and signed within 12 months of the license renewal.
