According to drive.ky.gov, "Safe driving requires good eyesight. Starting January 1, 2025, vision screenings will be required for anyone renewing a Kentucky driver’s license.
This new requirement, passed by the Kentucky General Assembly in 2021, aims to enhance highway safety by ensuring all drivers maintain good vision throughout their driving careers. Regular vision screenings help identify any impairments that could affect a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely, protecting both the driver and others on the road.
Kentucky joins several other states, including Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri, in adopting mandatory vision screenings for license renewals. The goal is simple: to ensure drivers have the visual acuity necessary for safe driving."
