CDL eye test/exam question

I am considering a career in truck driving, but i have a scar in the retina in my left eye. Will the eye test for CDL test for each eye or is it done with both eyes...in other words, i can pass an eye test looking with both eyes at the same time but cannot see with only my left eye (blurry when trying to read with left)

If you take you eye test at a Dr office and pass it. when you go to the DMV office, will they make you take eye test also?

so, you are saying during the physical the eye test is performed on each eye? i.e. cover left eye and read chart...cover right eye and read chart???
