Can you pass the driver's license medical examination with a visual acuity of 4.7?

Generally, whether a visual acuity of 4.7 can pass the driver's license medical examination depends on the type of license and whether vision correction is used. In some cases, it may be acceptable; in others, further evaluation may be required. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider in advance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If applying for a Class C driver’s license (such as for small vehicles or small automatic transmission vehicles), and the visual acuity of 4.7 is achieved with correction (e.g., wearing glasses or contact lenses), and there are no other vision issues such as red-green color blindness, the medical standard is generally met in most regions. These licenses have relatively lenient vision requirements, and corrected vision that meets the standard is usually sufficient.

If applying for a Class A/B license (such as for large passenger buses or towing vehicles), or if the visual acuity of 4.7 refers to uncorrected (naked eye) vision without correction, passing the exam is typically difficult. These licenses have stricter vision requirements, and most regions require either naked-eye or corrected vision to reach 5.0 or higher. Since 4.7 does not meet this standard, applicants may need to improve their vision before undergoing the medical examination.

Prior to the medical exam, individuals can visit a hospital to check their vision in advance and determine whether corrective lenses are needed. Bring appropriate eyewear to the examination to ensure that corrected vision meets the required standard. Be honest about your vision condition during the exam to avoid affecting the results. If you have concerns about the outcome, consult the medical examination facility or the traffic management department.
