Hello,

I really need you to take my décision to go to work in Kuwait.

Can i pass the eye test in the Qurtoba Clinic with only one eye who has a perfect eyesight ?

I have an amblyopia so The second eye has poor eyesight and i drive since many years.

They need this exam to convert french driving license on kuwait driving license, and i don't find the eyesight requirements.

Thank you very much it is really important.

i think if you convert your licence it should not be an issue, not sure about qurtuba tho.

I have terrible vision in my left eye. For the test the guy covered my right eye first and pointed to every other letter on the line.

"O-H-K-L"

good, He covered my right eye and I could barely see the paper. I decided to try to play it off.

"M-P-S-T"

Good!

Here's your stamp. Pick up your license tomorrow.

Awesome story !

And what about if someone say that it is not possible to read ? do you think it is a problem ?

Someone else who has the eyesight requirments ? really important

If you can see and say the letters (or are very good at pretending you can) then you should be OK. I did notice that they also had shapes, and arabic letters. Maybe that would be an alternative for someone who could not read.

If you vision can be corrected by glasses, I think that is ok too.

I think the only problem is if you can not see at all.
