The law stipulates that everyone renewing their driver’s licences must have their vision screened. Instead of waiting in long queues at the licensing authority, you can have this done by an optometrist. This project is conducted in co-operation with, and is approved by the Licencing Departments and the National Department of Transport.

The screening does not replace a full eye examination, but will reveal any potential problems you may have before you renew your driver’s licence.

This is done during a scheduled 15 minute appointment at a cost of R50.

You will receive an official certificate stating that you have had your vision screened by an optometrist. The certificate indicates the condition of your vision, and will be accepted by Licencing Departments.
