DMV Vision Test FAQ

Everything You Need to Know About NY DMV Vision Testing

Where can I get a DMV eye exam near me on the Upper East Side?
Healarian Pharmacy at 1658 3rd Avenue, near 93rd Street, does the NY DMV vision test (often called a DMV eye exam) for $30. It takes about 5 minutes, walk-ins are welcome, and we submit your result to the DMV online. Call 212-317-0828 or book at healarian.com/book.
Do I need an appointment for the DMV vision test?
Walk-ins welcome, but booking a slot at healarian.com/book guarantees your time.
How much does the DMV vision test cost?
The fee is $30. Insurance typically does not cover DMV vision screenings. We accept cash, credit, and debit.
Do I need to bring a form to the DMV?
Not if your provider submits your result to the DMV Vision Registry, which we do online. You do not need to mail a paper vision form with a renewal. If you would still like a paper copy to mail, ask us.
What if I fail the vision test?
If your vision doesn't meet the NY DMV standard, we'll let you know what corrective options to pursue. We can refer you to local ophthalmologists in Yorkville and Carnegie Hill.
Can I get the DMV vision test the same day?
Usually yes. Call 212-317-0828 to check same-day availability, or book online for a confirmed slot.
What are the NY DMV vision requirements?
The NY DMV requires visual acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen scale) in either or both eyes, with or without glasses or contact lenses. Wear whatever you normally use for driving. If you need corrective lenses to pass, a restriction is added to your license.
Can a pharmacist legally do the NY DMV vision test?
Yes. The NY DMV states that pharmacists, and staff supervised by pharmacists, can perform vision screening tests if they are enrolled in the DMV Vision Registry. Healarian Pharmacy is listed in the registry, and we enter your result online.
How long are my vision test results valid?
According to the NY DMV, results expire twelve months from the date of the test. An optometrist or ophthalmologist may set a six-month period instead. If you need a new test, call us — 212-317-0828.
How is a pharmacy DMV test different from going to an eye doctor?
At Healarian, the DMV vision test costs $30 and takes under 5 minutes, no full eye exam, no prescription required, and no waiting weeks for an appointment. We do exactly what the DMV requires and nothing more. A full eye exam at an optometrist often costs more.
I failed my DMV vision test at the DMV office. Can you help?
Yes. If the NY DMV referred you for an independent vision screening after a failed test, we can test you and submit your result to the DMV Vision Registry. Walk in or book a slot online. Bring your current corrective lenses.
