If someone fails his vision test at the DMV apartment, what will happen?
I understand this person must contact an eye doctor. However, if the person's vision cannot be corrected, what will happen?
I know of this guy who drives very well. He has vision problems. His problem is near-sighted. This means he sees near objects very well, but struggles to see very far objects.
I drive with him all the time. He drives much better than me. Honestly. He said he has to come up close to read the road signs, and last year at DMV he has troubles reading the small letters to pass his vision test.
My question is: If he fails his vision test in couple months time and his doctor may can't correct his vision, will DMV take away his License? If yes, he is going to go nuts, for he travels very far to work every day, and his cars are very expensive.

Also, he has no points on his License. he has never crashed. He has never gotten a ticket. He has been driving for a long time now.

UPDATE:
he was born like this. His vision has never changed. He always has been near-sighted. The doctors told him that his vision will not get worse, at least there is no sign of that.

your freind needs to contact the doctor , bring a copy of his driving record for court purposes ... to the doctor . the doctor will probably "help" out your friend. the dmv has a form / get the form they need. the doctor will do the exam and fill out the form. there is ONE question that they physician answers ... does he / she think the licensee can safely operate the motor vehicle . the eye doctor will probably give him a prescription for driving glasses ... and/ or judge that your friend can safely operate a vehicle. the driving record documentation of safe record will help the doctor to make decision . doctors understand that the dmv is like a loaded gun to someones head.
you should also coach your freind , that they need to self monitor. if they feel , they can't see well enough , they may want to decide it's time to take a vacation from driving . live closer to work . comute with others. his safety is very important as are the safety of others on the road . he or she knows when it's time and most people judge for themselve when they are ready . but i would think that this can be corrected . there are even devices that are mounted to car to enhance vision telescopic somehting or others. your friend may have to have glasses or get some device for the car. see an eye doctor asap / get the form to dmv early . make sure you follow up to be sure that they have processed the form. they usually give people ten days to do this and then suspend license.
your friend will probably pass the doctors exam . maybe see more than one doctor if needed.

If he fails the vision test, they will not let him drive until his vision is corrected. Usually, this means that you go get a pair of glasses, take the vision test with the glasses on, and then have your license with a vision restriction. The vision restriction simply means that you are not allowed to drive without your glasses.
I can't imagine a reason why a person who is simply near-sighted could not have their vision corrected with glasses, but if a person cannot pass the vision test, he cannot drive. They can't permanently ban someone from getting a driver's license for a vision problem, but they can ban someone from getting it until the vision problem is corrected.

His vision must be corrected by glasses or contacts so as to pass the test with them. If his vision cannot be corrected ( violating some of the description you made ), then he is probably close to legally blind ( for the purpose of driving ) and will lose his driver's license ( or, rather, his license will not be renewed ). Driving is a privilege and is subject to some requirements of vision, knowing the rules, and passing a driving test.

If his vision cannot be corrected (such as with glasses), he may have macular degeneration. He may seem fine now, but every day brings something new. They may require that he surrenders his license, or may just put restrictions (such as no night driving). But wouldn't you rather this happen now, instead of after he completely loses his vision?

Near-sightedness can be corrected by glasses. Take him to an opthalmologist.
