Don't know where you got your information:

All drivers must take a vision test when they renew their driver licenses. You can take the vision test by two methods:

    An eye-care professional must conduct your vision test, and complete form MV-619 or form MV-619R (Eye Test Report). The form MV-619R is included with your driver license renewal notice. If the form MV-619 or form MV-619R has a print date of 9/03 or earlier, the form is valid for 6 months after the date of the eye test. If the form has a print date of 3/04 or later, the eye-care professional marks 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.

    Mail form MV-619 or MV-619R that your eye-care professional completed with your renewal application.

    An eye-care professional in another state or country can complete form MV-619 or form MV-619R. The eye-care professional must report the results on the Snellen visual acuity scale. The eye-care professional must complete the form in English. The eye-care professional must provide a professional license number if a number was assigned by the other state or country.

    You can send a form or a letter from a motor vehicle office in another state that indicates that you passed a vision test at a motor vehicle office in that state during the past six months. The form or letter must indicate that you passed a vision test for a visual acuity of 20/40 (or better) on the Snellen Visual Acuity Scale.

     - or -
    Go to a NYSDMV office to take the vision test and renew your driver license. There is no additional fee to take the vision test at a DMV office.

I just renewed in May and I had to do the eye test.

Maybe the ones who needed it moved to FL?

[Strawboss]

To be fair though, ever sit there while you wait and watch the folks take the "test"? I watched a quite elderly woman take the "test" 6 or 7 times over the course of 15 minutes being "coached" by the administrator before she eventually passed. Its a joke here in Ohio.

Wow! Now when someone runs over a MC they really can say that they didn't see it.

Florida is proof that blind elderly people can vote and drive.

we have not had any inspections on anything here in SC for I'd say 10+ years now

NJ's motorcycle inspections were pretty much a joke anyway. 

[Stasch]

What's a MC inspection? 

(Have never had 'em in MI)
