Starting January 1, 2025, all Kentuckians must undergo a vision screening to renew their license.
Vision screenings may be completed at no cost at the KYTC Driver Licensing Regional Office.
Drivers also have the option of conducting a vision exam with their vision specialist, or a vision screening with a KYTC-credentialed medical provider in advance of their license renewal visit.
This new requirement was passed by the General Assembly in 2021 to enhance highway safety.
Kentucky joins several other states, including Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri, in adopting mandatory vision screenings for license renewals. For more information, click here.
