If you don’t were or need glasses, you will pass no problem. If you don’t wear glasses and need them, you’ll fail, and the roads will be safer for all of us, and you will have to get glasses and discover a whole new world that you only see vaguely today. Last, the DMV Vision test can be appealed.
For a D.O.T physical. You are given an eye exam. If you fail. They send you on your way. So back to the top. Make the appointment and there are places out there that will get you in a pair of glasses that same day.

Yes I understand what you are both saying but the paperwork the DMV gave does not ask her an in-depth question. It vaguely asks just if I can see distantly and by default the rest of her report vouches for that.

Well I will tell here to write more in the comment section if she wants to explain why but actually, the question isn't vague its just the DMV asked the "wrong" clear question that might promote vague answers.
If I understand your incredibly poorly written post correctly, you are looking for a way to force the state of Tennessee to issue you an unrestricted license so that you can drive legally without having to wear glasses regardless of how poor your eyesight may be. Have I got that right?
After passing their written driving examinations and practical road evaluations, new drivers must pass a vision test to complete the driver’s license application procedure. Because vision deteriorates with age, licensed drivers must take a vision exam every time they renew their driver’s license.
A Snellen eye chart is used in almost all DMV vision testing. These charts may be recognizable to you if you’ve ever had an eye exam. They have one large letter, typically an “E” at the top and several rows of more minor characters below.

Back to the DMV Vision Test. If you were glasses, they will make you take it once without, and if you fail, you immediately take it a second time and you should pass.
The tests at most DMV are very simple. In my local office there is a chart hung from the ceiling in back of the counter they ask you to read one of three lines from. It's been the same sign for at least 20 years and maybe longer. I don't remember what how it worked when I got my permit in 1977 as they gave rearranged the office.
What I do know is that it wouldn’t make much sense to do that. When you take the vision test at the DMV, it only takes a minute or less, but if you went to the doctor to get tested it would take more time. I’d recommend just taking the test at the DMV unless you have a really good reason not to (and I can’t think of what reason that could be).
