If you need glasses to drive safely - GET THEM!
My vision had degraded and I had to wear glasses to read or drive at night.
My first time getting a CDL I used them to pass the test. 2 years later my vision had improved a little and I could pass the test without glasses, but I still needed them while driving at night.
My vision was still blurred at night - but they don't test for that. I still wore them when I needed to.
Then I got on blood pressure meds and the problem all but went away.
A couple weeks after taking the med my night vision also cleared up. I only need my glasses now when I'm reading.
Blood pressure can affect your vision, and even some doctors I've spoken to were surprised by the fact.
Maybe they were not very good doctors, but it makes sense that if there is more pressure in the veins of your eyes it might impact clarity.
