| I'd guess on your word? How do they verify that you're wearing contact lenses instead of glasses?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you are that worried get a note from your eye doc to carry in your wallet. |

| After my cataract surgery and IOL implant, I re-took the vision test at the DMV. My DL was reissued and the corrective lens requirement was removed. Patty (or maybe it was Selma) told me that they regard this as similar to Lasik; eyeglasses or contact lenses are not required.

| After completion they should give you a IOL card. It shows the date of replacement. I’m not sure if it’s to fulfill the driver license requirement, but I think it would work as verification. |

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view
| You will get paperwork from you eye doc that you take to the dmv and they will update and issue you a new license.

This is what I did when I had Lasik surgery. |

| My experience was similar to V-Tails. Went to DMV and retook the vision test.Clerk told me if I passed I was good to go. Corrective lens requirement was removed from my license. |

Yep, same with me. My eye doc said if for some odd reason I failed the test they would intervein with the DMV. No need, passed easily. I suppose some states have different requirements but I see now much better then I have with glasses or contacts.

| You'll only get "caught" if you get stopped for some other thing. Plus corrective lens also cover contact lenses. It's not like they'll ask people to take out their contact lenses to prove they're wearing corrective lenses. I suppose if you start squinting while talking to the police officer, that will flag his attention. I just waited until my DL was up for renewal and then mentioned to the clerk I don't need glasses any more. She had me read the chart without glasses and the restriction was removed from my license.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

| they don't give a shit if you can pass the eye test.
i had both done 3 years ago, wore glasses.
the day after the 2nd eye was done, back to dmv for eye test to remove the restriction.
only fee was for a replacement license without the restriction!! |

| Here, the need for corrective lenses is determined when you take the eye exam when you renew your drivers license. When I got my first eye done I was given a card to carry in my wallet, I'm guessing when I get my 2nd eye done next week they'll adjust the card to show both eyes.
