Why are people trying to tell him how to bs his way through an eye exam? You need to be able to see to drive. Eye exams and glasses are cheap.
lagbrosdetmi, RaiderK2 and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Link One
I will add some other links when I get a chance to find some new ones. Most of the ones I know about are now broken or are to other trucking websites like this one and it is not right to spam them like that.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
My kid brother wore some THICK glasses in his younger years. There he was in driver's ed, standing in line for the eye test and he noticed everybody was reading the same exact chart in the eye machine. So, when it was his turn, he took off his glasses, put his face in the machine, closed his eyes, and recited the same line everyone else had been reading back to the examiner. He was restriction free until he turned 21.
bottomdumpin and x1Heavy Thank this. -
I used to cheat,I peepep thru my fingers at the old eye charts to pass my dot,i can see good enough to not have a wreck in 25 years of driving but my problem is seeing those tiny signs at night.Then i put my glasses on.Mostly now i don`t drive at night.

oh yea,i went and got glasses and almost ran a guy off the road before I got home so i ditched the glasses until needed at night.I go to a dot dr who still uses a eye chart

One year she had it all 1's and I bounced out of that thing and said out loud wtf is this? The people laughed. It was a one off thing. The next person said Four Aces on there and they passed him.
Re the thick glasses, I'll share something else. Back in middle school *UGH.... I had a gal, on the bus and everywhere. Anyhow, Father made certain to get the most turn off birth control glasses possible in the pile of glasses at that eye shop in town. He would let me run wild picking nice metal glass frames and then stick the worst blob. The last episode I raised some hell. The gal was good. But Pa has the last laugh in those days. Ha.... -
If you are going to spend money on anything routine medically, vision should be at the top. Nature gave us decent vision for hunting compared to other animals, and have evolved to rely on it more than any of the others. -
Only thing to note is that often when you go to eye doctor offices, they have glasses but they are more expensive to other glasses shops that sell them a lot cheaper, or websites online that have pairs for dirt cheap.
Eye doctors try to get you to buy their glasses and will give you your prescription without the eye width values, so you can't order them. When you go in you have to tell them to include those numbers because you don't have $300 dollars to spend on one of their fancy pairs
