[QUOTE="Ridgeline, post: 3412160, member: 77050"]If you have eye problems like this and it gets serious enough where you cause an accident and it is documented, then you're on the hook especially if you don't tell your employer about it. The treatments may not work, your horizontal vision depth perception may be effected in such a way that it effects your driving, seeing it is the left eye that is the problem. From Ohio's DMV website. [B]Commercial Intrastate (Ohio only) Driving Privileges:[/B] If unable to meet the above standards, an applicant for a commercial driver license may qualify for intrastate driving privileges (K2 restriction on license) if they meet normal Class D acuity and horizontal field standards. [B]CDL Waiver[/B] The BMV does not offer a waiver to CDL drivers. If the driver has a K2 restriction (Ohio driving only) they must contact either [URL="http://www.puco.ohio.gov/"]PUCO[/URL] or the [URL="http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/topics/medical/exemptions.htm"]Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration[/URL] to obtain a waiver to drive for a PUCO-regulated company in Ohio. If you don't have a CDL now, I would reconsider the move into this profession if you can't get it corrected.[/QUOTE]
