If you’re renewing your Illinois driver’s license, you’ll need to complete a vision screening to ensure your eyesight meets state standards for safe driving. The good news? You can take care of it right here in our office — no trip to the DMV required. Our Illinois Driver’s License Vision Exams are quick, convenient, and fully certified by the state.

It begins with a simple vision screening

During your exam, your eye doctor will measure your visual acuity — how clearly you can see at various distances — using a standard eye chart. This helps determine whether your vision meets the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles’ requirements for driving. If you already wear glasses or contact lenses, be sure to bring them along so we can test your corrected vision as well.

Accurate results, sent directly to the state

Once your vision exam is complete, we’ll electronically submit your results to the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, saving you time and paperwork. There’s no need for a separate appointment at the DMV — your results are securely sent from our office to the state system, ensuring your driver’s license renewal process goes smoothly.

Why it’s important to have regular eye exams

Even if you pass your vision test, regular comprehensive eye exams are still essential for maintaining healthy eyesight and safe driving. Routine visits can help detect issues such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration early — before they begin to affect your vision and daily life.

What to expect during your visit

The exam is quick and easy, usually taking just a few minutes. Our friendly team will verify your identification, review your current vision correction (if any), and perform your screening. If your results indicate that you need a prescription update or further evaluation, we’ll discuss your options and next steps right away.

Convenient and stress-free renewal

We know how busy life can be — that’s why we’ve made the process simple. You can complete your Illinois driver’s license vision exam during your regular eye appointment or as a standalone visit. It’s one less errand to worry about and one more reason to keep your vision in check.
