So, here I am, 40 years old. I figured that since it has been awhile since my last eye exam I’d get one.
I have been wearing glasses since at I was 4 years old. Originally I was far sighted, for a year or so I didn’t need them then I went near sighted. The last couple exams I had the prescriptions seemed too strong so I wasn’t wearing them all the time.
So, I go to the eye doctor, he does his stuff and then says that technically my eyes still need correcting but that it is so minor it wouldn’t be worth the money.
I say thanks (thinking “yay! no more glasses”). I ask him if that means I dont require them to drive. He says I don’t and to get a form from the dmv and he will fill it out. I go home and find the form online, print it out, take it back to the doctor, go to the dmv and I now have, for the first time, a drivers license that does not say corrective lenses required.
Woot ! I don’t have to worry about having a pair in the car in case I get pulled over anymore!
