If my eyesight fails a DOT Phys, will Lasik fix it so I can pass?

Go to an Optometrists, get glasses and move on.

I can't believe you been driving blind.

 

My last dot physical I had to wear my glasses, she gave me no choice, so I am assuming you were wearing your glasses.

If you were wearing glasses, then go to an Optometrists and see what's going on.

Lasik and other forms of physical correction has more risks than does wearing glasses, I know from my sister who was legally blind and went through three operations, the first to correct her blindness through Lasik and then two others to fix the problems than Lasik caused. It was a nightmare, she could not do a thing and with two young brats at home, it was even worst when her husband was across the country.

 

I'm surprised you renewed your license.

They always check my eyes. I would assume they have the same 20/40 requirement.

They also check for colors.

 

You have to go to a eye surgeon to examine your eyes to determine the problem and issue a proper prescription for your new glasses.

Burning a shaky prescription directly onto your corneas via lasik etc is not the solution and actually puts you at risk for a permanent issues after.

A eye surgeon can understand exactly the root cause of whatever it is you got going on. You have to have a proper vision with or without glasses. But not via Lasik.

Your orientation can wait a time. There is no rush, especially if your eyes have say developed cataracts and finally started to affect your vision for example, or any one of hundreds of physical defects via heath problems which are revealed inside your eyes first among other clues if any.

You can drive a car on one good eye. Anyone can. But not a semi. You would be a fool to do it.

 

Go to the eye doctor, get glasses or contacts.

I've considered Lasik myself, but after talking to some people who've had it done, and reading a little about it, I decided it simply wasn't worth the risk to me. I know a couple people who have had it done with great results, and some who told me don't do it. My boss had it done right after they started doing lasik, he likes it but still has to wear glasses at night.

Remember, you only get two eyes, and that's it. Once you screw them up, you can't get new ones. And with Lasik, all it takes is a little human error to really screw it all up.
