DOT Physical Visual Evaluation Report Form MCSA 5871 pdf print

Effective March 22, 2022 FMCSA amends its regulations to permit individuals who do not satisfy, with the worse eye, either the existing distant visual acuity standard with corrective lenses or the field of vision standard, or both, to be physically qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate commerce under specified conditions.

Currently, such individuals are prohibited from driving CMVs in interstate commerce unless they obtain an exemption from FMCSA. The new alternative vision standard (MCSA Form 5871) replaces the current vision exemption program as the basis for determining the physical qualification of these individuals.

FMCSA has provided this informational webinar regarding CMV Drivers Vision Standard final rule published on January 21, 2022. The webinar is designed to assist certified Medical Examiners (CME) in understanding the provisions of the regulatory changes and the Medical Examiner’s role in the medical certification process of individuals with monocular vision under the new alternative vision standard.
