Good eyesight is a fundamental requirement for safe driving and in Abu Dhabi, this is ensured through a mandatory eye test for all driving licence applicants. The test can only be conducted at government-approved eye test centres, guaranteeing that every applicant meets the necessary visual standards for operating a vehicle safely. Passing the eye test is also required for renewing an existing driving licence. This makes it a crucial step in the licensing process and helps maintain high safety standards across the emirate.
