[quote=Anonymous]If the DMV won't give you a license, an attorney will not likely be able to help you.  The opinion of your opthamologist is not relevant, since it is the DMV, not your opthamologist, which is entrusted to make decisions about who has the physical attributes needed to drive safely.  I don't know, but doubt, there is any provision in the relevant law for the DMV's judgement to be supplanted by that of a private physician selected by the applicant for a driver's license.

Perhaps you can be restested at the DMV by a different examiner, in case there was some irregularity in the administration of the vision test.  Other than that, it's probably time to make alternative arrangements for transportation.

Self-interest aside (easier said than done), do you really believe you can drive safely if your vision is so problematic that the DMV has adjudged you too dangerous to drive?  The bar to a driver's license is extremely low, so if someone can't pass that hurdle, it's likely there really is a genuine issue.
