Well, with three days to go until my old driver's license expires on my 35th birthday, I finally made it over to the License Bureau this morning to get my driver's license renewed. I finally have a driver's license sporting a photo without hair (I've been fashionably bald for several years now) and without my social security number on it. I liked that they now put an organ donor symbol on the front of the cards, but I wasn't fond of having gone from 150 lbs to 185 lbs. I sure am glad I didn't get it renewed before I lost 15 pounds over the last two months!!! Maybe over the next year I can loose another 20 and get lasik surgery done and go back in for another one without the eyeglasses restriction.
About the eye restriction — I don't know how bad your eyes are, but a few years ago I asked them to remove the restriction on my license when I was getting it renewed. They just had me take the eye exam without my glasses on, and that satisfied them. Might be worth a try if you can see decently without glasses as-is.
No, I'm sure they wouldn't go for that with me. I'm blind as a bat without my glasses. Even with my glasses I didn't do too good on the eye test today. They have three columns with about 6 letters in each column. The center and right columns I think I got all correct, but the left column I guessed on all of them. I think they said my corrected vision was 40:40. I really want to have lasik done but Jeannie & Benjamin keep using up all the Health Savings Account funds.
