(LEX 18) — Beginning on Jan. 1, 2025, Kentuckians will be required to take a vision screening to renew their driver's license, according to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

Officials reported that the screening is part of a new law "designed to improve road safety by ensuring drivers maintain good vision throughout their driving career."

Officials added that two screening options are available:

  • Free screening at any KYTC Driver Licensing Regional Office (no additional appointment required); or
  • Vision test from a KYTC-credentialed medical professional.
