Texas drivers can remove corrective-lens restrictions
Effective September 1, 2025, the law requires Texas’s Department of Public Safety to remove corrective-lens license restrictions after vision surgery. Drivers must submit a licensed physician’s or optometrist’s written statement confirming surgery corrected their vision and lenses are no longer needed. Drivers must also pay a fee; the amount is not specified here. The department must accept electronic or mailed submissions and mail a replacement license. However, it cannot mail replacements to drivers whose license records show Chapter 62, Code of Criminal Procedure, registration requirements. Implementation is required only if the Legislature provides money specifically for this purpose. Without that funding, the department may implement the law using other available appropriations.
