What does it say on your notice?
Unless it state you need one it isn't required.
 
Read the letter they send you. If you are under 70 (I forget the exact age) no test is required on a renewal. If you let it expire for more then a year then that is a different story.

If you are worried about an eye test, it sounds like you may need one. You may be hazard on the road... If you cannot afford proper eyeglasses or contacts, then you should not be able to drive.

not worreid, just wanted to know!

There is an age where you have to get an eye test, and I believe its around 70 , however if you get your eyes tested and it is determined you need to wear glasses in order to drive, the Doctor is obligated to notify the Ministry
 
And if the eye doctor thinks that you are unfit to drive even with glasses, they are obligated to tell the ministry, and they will take away your license.
 
Did you know that your Photo Ontario Health Card needs to be renewed when your drivers license is due? just noticed that. Not like the old red and white ones that lasted forever.

That's why I'm happy I still have my old red and white one. One less thing I have to deal with the government on. :)

Don't bother looking. If you are asking about the eye test you likely need one.

Don't get too comfy with it -- they'll come for you. Anything they can do to get more cash out of you. :)

for what I remember, I think the will test you with Snelen test and if you failed the vision test they will advised you to see an Optometrist.
 
Bingo...

Never give up your red & white card! If it starts to split apary, tape it together. Once you get a photo health card, you have to run in for updated photos every few years. A real pain in the butt.

Already at that point (the taping thing). :)

Everytime I hand it over to someone they say "you should get a new one" and I reply "I tried three times and they jerked me around, they know where I live, when they want to give me one they can let me know".
