what was needed to pass the vision test?
You need to have visual acuity of at least 20/40 based on the Snellen Visual Acuity Scale in either or both eyes, with or without corrective lenses.
how up to date does the eye test have to be if I get it done through my regular eye guy?
It depends on the form used. The vision care professional will mark a box on the form to indicate if the form is valid for 6 months or for 12 months after the date of the eye test .
