How many years is a vision exemption valid for?

A vision exemption is typically valid for two years. This timeframe allows medical professionals to assess and monitor the individual's vision condition effectively. During this two-year period, the individual may be allowed to operate a commercial motor vehicle, provided they meet the necessary vision standards that warrant an exemption. After two years, a reevaluation is required to ensure that the individual’s vision remains stable and they still meet the criteria for the exemption. This time limit is designed to strike a balance between allowing individuals an opportunity to maintain their driving privileges while ensuring public safety through regular assessments of their vision health.
