I wear glasses. I always have, always will and if a girlfriend suggests that I wear contacts ill break up with her (but its not like i'll get one anyway so problem solved)
when I took my tests to get my ODL permit and my full license when I was 17 I took the test without glasses in the event my glasses are lost, broken, incapacitated, etc.
when I went to Truck Driving school the doctors told me on my physical I NEED glasses, the state of Indiana when they issued me my ODL and my permit said "you WILL wear glasses" but fortunatly when I went home to Missouri they reprinted my ODL without glasses (they were a little mad with Indiana)
so my medical card said I needed glasses but my CDL said I didn't is that a ticketable offence?
a few days ago I went to get a new DOT physical, they told me I dont need glasses and that matched up with my CDL. so my new question is can I get in trouble for wearing glasses despie the fact that my paperwork says I don't need them?
if you are confused send me a reply or a message telling me where you are confused and ill try to clear it up
I have a serious question about wearing corrective lenses

What is your vision? If you do the eye test without glasses, then your vision cannot be all that bad.
-
No, you will not get in trouble.
Cetane+ Thanks this. -
I forget what the doctor said, but i'm kind of going to the eye doctor every 6 years so its hard to get a straight answer. however I can see without them, does that answer your question?
I can drive without glasses, and perform functions without glasses, and heck, I spent 7 weeks in Basic Training without glasses. I could barley shoot but it got worse when I got my glasses. I WILL NOT go to the local shooting range without glasses, i'm too afraid to try. I can drive without glasses, its not my choice but I can
i've been wearing bifocals my whole life though -
They are good to have around!
I thought!
I don't know but I thought at one time they were good!
