The Illinois Vision Specialist Report form serves as a crucial document for individuals seeking to obtain a driver's license in Illinois, particularly when they do not meet the standard vision requirements during initial screenings. This form is designed for use by vision specialists who evaluate applicants referred by Driver Services employees. It includes essential sections that capture the applicant's personal information, vision acuity, and peripheral vision capabilities. The report outlines specific instructions for the vision specialist, emphasizing the need for accurate measurements and the importance of documenting any corrective measures taken. For applicants requiring prescription telescopic lenses, additional sections address unique standards for acuity and peripheral vision, ensuring that those who utilize such lenses can still qualify for a driver's license under specific conditions. The form also allows for the vision specialist to provide comments regarding the applicant's visual condition and recommendations for future examinations. Ultimately, the Illinois Vision Specialist Report form plays a vital role in maintaining road safety by ensuring that all drivers meet the necessary visual standards.

The patient has been fitted for a prescription spectacle mounted telescopic lens arrangement and has had this arrangement in his/her possession for at least 60 days prior to the application date.

The patient has clinically demonstrated the ability to locate stationary objects within the telescopic field by aligning the object directly below the telescopic lens and moving the head down and the eyes up simultaneously.

The patient has clinically demonstrated the ability to locate a moving object in a large field of vision by anticipating future movement, so that by moving the head and eyes in a coordinated fashion, he/she is able to locate the moving object within the telescopic field.

The patient has clinically demonstrated the ability to remember what has been observed after a brief exposure, with the duration of the exposure progressively diminished to simulate reduced observation time while driving.

The patient has experienced levels of illumination which may be encountered during inclement weather or when driving from daylight into areas of shadow or artificial light and the patient has clinically demonstrated the ability to successfully adjust to such changes.

The patient has experienced walking and riding as a passenger in a motor vehicle so that he/she has practical experience of motion while objects are changing position.
