(The medical examiner must review and discuss with the applicant any "yes" answers and potential hazards of medications, including
over-the-counter medications, while driving.)
INSTRUCTIONS: The presence of a certain condition may not necessarily disqualify an applicant, particularly if the condition is controlled adequately, is not
likely to worsen or is readily amenable to treatment. Even if a condition does not disqualify an applicant, the medical examiner may consider deferring the
applicant temporarily. Also, the driver should be advised to take the necessary steps to correct the condition as soon as possible particularly if the condition,
if neglected, could result in more serious illness that might affect driving. Check YES if there are any abnormalities. Check NO if the body system is normal.
Discuss any YES answers in detail, and indicate whether it would affect the applicant's ability to operate a commercial motor vehicle safely. Enter applicable
item number before each comment. If organic disease is present, note that it has been compensated for. See Instructions to the Medical Examiner for
guidance.

TESTING
(Medical Examiner completes Section 3 through 7)
Standard: At least 20/40 acuity (Snellen) in each eye with or without correction. At least 70 degrees peripheral in horizontal
3.
VISION
meridian measured in each eye. The use of corrective lenses should be noted on the Medical Examiner's Certificate.
INSTRUCTIONS: When other than the Snellen chart is used, give test results in Snellen-comparable values. In recording distance
vision, use 20 feet as normal. Report visual acuity as a ratio with 20 as numerator and the smallest type read at 20 feet as
denominator. If the applicant wears corrective lenses, these should be worn while visual acuity is being tested. If the driver habitually
wears contact lenses, or intends to do so while driving, sufficient evidence of good tolerance and adaptation to their use must be
obvious. Monocular drivers are not qualified.
