Dot vision test

Providing that I am not mistaken, I believe that you need at 20/40 vision, with or without correction, in each eye.

Again, providing that I am correct, many states will not let you get your license for a regular car unless you have at least 20/40 vision, with or without correction, in each eye.

You may want to make an appointment with a DOT certified physician and hear what he or she has to say about this. Also, you may want to see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist about the possibility of stronger eye correction, or some other medical procedure, for your right eye.

Good luck to you! God bless you and your family!

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

See an eye doctor about some glasses.

 

You need new glasses.

Regardless of the DOT test, you'll be much better off with proper vision correction.

 

I wear a contact In my right eye. I am 20 20 in the left eye and 20 25 in my right. Your right about the left eye compensating. It will. Still you need to get that right eye checked out.

 

Yes, you will fail if just the right eye is beyond 20/40. I have 20/20 in both, 20/15 in my left, and 20/50 in my right. I cut my right eye a decade or so ago and have needed glasses when I'm driving for the last 6.

 

Doctor: "Okay, can you read the fine print in your employment contract?"

Driver: "No."

Doctor: "You pass. NEXT!"

 

Get the eye checked

 

Vision problems, you may have noticed that if you turn on a bright lamp, you'll be able to read the print without aid of glasses. If, that's the case...too much CO2, in your system...simple fix, (get off your butt) start jogging, get up to 3 miles, consistently, (have at least 24, 3 mile jogging sessions before retaking your eye test). more than likely , this will correct your eye problem or decrease the problem where you'll pass a CDL eye exam.

 

I wouldn't worry about it because if you want a CDL, you won't get it without the hassle. YOU won't pass unless you cheat.

I would say the best solution is to get to a doc, have your eyes examine and then a new pair of glasses - if you can't afford the doc, then borrow the money. If you can't afford the glasses, then I think you don't need to get a CDL but a job that doesn't involved driving because I and YOU can get a pair of $20 glasses that work for you - http://www.zennioptical.com

 

Dude they have places you can get an exam and some new eyes for like $100.

I'm 20/15 corrected both eyes, 20/ blind as a bat uncorrected both eyes.

If you don't want to spend the $100, I recommend when they ask you read line whatever, you respond with " What chart? ". That should tell them what they need to know.
