I was told like if you had high blood pressure they would issue you like a 30 or 60 day card so you can go to the doctor and get bp medicine so why wouldn't they do that to give you time to go get glasses ? I can see pretty good close up but I do have some problems seeing far off is why I was asking my physical is too just get in driving school it isn't for a company

I cant says the applicant. You see, I am blind.
Oh no problem says the physician, here is a 30 day licence to drive a big rig until you can get glass's to correct the blindness.
And as for the high blood pressure,
If it very high, you do not get a certification.
If its pretty high, they give you a limited certificate for like 30 or 60 days.
If its a little high, they give you a year certificate.
If it aint high, they give you a two year certificate.
Aint that right guys???? -

I just want to say you guys are so helpful and I want to thank each and every one of you I will most likely pass everything I can see the big letters but it is the letters at the very bottom of the eye chart I worry about I get nervous and I worry about the least little thing

Once when renewing my Physical I failed eye exam even with glasses. Seems I needed to update my prescription. They gave me 2 year cert with me promising to get new glasses in the near future. Didn't even check up on me if I did or not, but still I got them anyways so I'd be all set for the next one in 2 years after that one.

Line 8 is 20/20 and considered perfect vision.
Vision is usually pass/fail. Make sure it's 20 feet too. I had one doctor I told him this is kind of far. He said no, it's the required 20 feet. Having worked in construction I said why is there 25 one foot tiles in between your chart and the line then? He look at me funny and made me move closer.
Meltom Thanks this. -
