Does this look like I can get a CDL with glasses?
"(b)(10) Has distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at least 70° in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing standard red, green, and amber;"
When I looked at the CDL book from Texas it just said I needed 20/40 vision and it scared the heck out of me. I see perfect with glasses but not without them. I don't know what Snellen means.

First of all, THANKS CyberGal!!
. Now then, about the sun glasses. They are NOT created equal, you get what you pay for !$$$! Cheapo dark sunglasses just make it harder to see!!!! I paid over $100 for my Bolle brand with the driver lense. The CLARITY is AMAZING, and as long as you clean them with the correct cloth they last a LONG time!! They also correctly PROTECT your eyes, cheapo does not. Dark shades make your pupils open wider, letting in more bad rays. GOOD sunglasses should not darken things up, just clarify and reduce glare.
