Are Eyeglasses Or Contact Lenses Ok In This Industry??
Topic 2704 | Page 1
Hey Josh...eyeglasses and contacts are not an issue. Been wearing glasses my whole life and I use them when doing the DOT physical. As long as your vision is correctable to the minimums with the eyewear you will be fine. (The minimums are pretty darn easy)
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

Yup...glasses for distance vision when needed will really help you when driving. You may want to get your prescription in a set of sun glasses later on....you will need them. And when going thru the scales, if you have on sunglasses, they WILL ask you if they are prescription...TSB got a ticket for that last year...
