If you don't have clear vision at 20 feet (6 metres) away, you'll be assigned a different eyesight ranking, such as 20/30, 20/40, up to 20/200 (6/60 metres), which is considered legally blind in Australia. 20/40 vision means that you have to stand closer to an image to see it clearly than people with 20/20 vision.

Anyone who applies for an original or renewal driver license must meet the department's visual acuity (vision) screening standard. The DMV's vision screening standard is: 20/40 with both eyes tested together, and. 20/40 in one eye and at least, 20/70 in the other eye.

Visual acuity of 6/9 or better in your best eye and 6/18 or better in your worst eye, with or without glasses or corrective lenses.

If you have vision in one eye only (monocular vision) you can usually still drive. You must get a certificate from an ophthalmologist or optometrist that: confirms you meet the eyesight standards. includes copies of any recent visual field testing.

If you drive a car you must: have a visual acuity of at least decimal 0.5 (6/12) measured on the Snellen scale (with glasses or contact lenses, if necessary) using both eyes together or, if you have sight in one eye only, in that eye.

If you fail the eye test, you can't resit it at a service centre. You must provide an eyesight report from an optometrist or ophthalmologist. Transport for NSW may defer your eyesight test if you're a low-risk driver renewing your licence online. See Deferring eyesight tests when renewing a licence online below.

the visual acuity in the remaining eye is 6/12 or better, with or without correction; and. the visual field in the remaining eye has a horizontal extent of at least 110 degrees within 10 degrees above and below the horizontal midline.

So, if your vision is 6/12 this means that you can see, at 6 metres, what a 'normal' person can see at 12 metres from the chart. That is, your central vision is half of normal.
