    I’m not aware of your laws, but isn’t it just self-certification? Like you tell them “I use glasses to have normal vision” and they reply “okay cool” and write corrective lenses on your license?

      Um, the Department of Motor Vehicles does a crude eye exam too ya know…

      They gotta make sure drivers can read the road signs, which I cannot without corrective glasses or contacts.

        An your current glasses are so insanely scratched that you can’t pass said test?

          Some people look me in the face and express concern that I might not see well through the scratches. And they’re not wrong.

          What is wrong though, is people insisting that I get a new eye exam, as if they’re my opthalmologist or something…

          My current prescription is fine, although technically outdated. All I need is new lenses that aren’t scratched to hell and back.

          And all I asked was how to actually read the chicken scratch on the prescription…
