Frequently asked questions
How much does the DMV vision test cost at Vision Palace Optical?
The DMV vision test is available as a walk-in at our Avenue U office. No appointment needed. We accept cash and card.
Do I need an appointment for the DMV vision test?
No appointment needed. The DMV vision test at Vision Palace Optical is walk-in only. Come in any time during business hours: Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We're at 1723 Avenue U in Brooklyn.
What happens after I take the DMV vision test?
We're enrolled in the DMV's Online Vision Registry, so we submit your results electronically through the registry and you can renew online. You don't need to take a report anywhere or make a separate DMV visit. The DMV's paper alternative is the MV-619 Vision Test Report, which a provider completes and gives to you to use with your renewal.
What do I need to bring to the DMV vision test?
Bring a valid photo ID and your walk-in fee (cash or card). If you normally wear glasses or contacts to drive, wear them — the DMV standard is based on your corrected vision. Call us at (718) 998-8400 with any questions.
Does insurance cover the DMV vision test?
The DMV vision test is not typically covered by vision insurance. It is a standalone test, separate from a comprehensive eye exam. Walk in any time — cash or card accepted.
