The DVLA state that to drive in the UK, you must meet the minimum eyesight standards. This includes having a visual acuity of at least 6/12 (0.5) as measured on the Snellen scale. If you are a lorry or bus driver, you must have a visual acuity of at least 6/7.5 (0.8). An individual can meet this standard using glasses or contact lenses.
