Within the scope of the National Vision Health Program 2020, related to correctable visual deficits, and in order to help the population in the municipalities where it operates, OPTIC One developed the “Driving with Vision” Project.
This project consists of visual acuity assessment and the respective mandatory examinations required by law, by accredited professionals, in order to provide general practitioners with all the necessary information for the driver’s license certificate, regarding visual health.
OPTIC One guarantees the provision of this service until the end of 2028.
In Portugal, driver’s license renewal depends on age and category, but for most people (category B – passenger cars), it works as follows:
Driver’s licenses obtained before January 2013:
– Renewals at ages 50, 60, 65, 70 without needing to present a medical certificate;
– After age 70, every 2 years, requiring a medical certificate;
Driver’s licenses obtained from January 2013 onwards:
– Every 15 years until age 60, without the need to present a medical certificate;
– At ages 60 and 65, requiring a medical certificate;
– After age 70, every 2 years, requiring a medical certificate;
