Subject: Why Mono-vision might not be wise.

Subject: Here are the CA standards.  Note remarks about mono-vision.

DMV's Vision Screening Standards

DMV is authorized to test all applicants’ vision under California
Vehicle Code (CVC §12804.9(a)(1)(E) ).

Anyone who applies for an original or renewal driver license must meet
the department’s visual acuity (vision) screening standard. DMV’s
vision screening standard is:

20/40 with both eyes tested together and
20/40 in one eye and
20/70, at least, in the other eye
Minimum Visual Acuity Requirement

If you cannot meet the vision screening standard, you must have a
minimum visual acuity in at least one eye better than 20/200 (best
corrected). Visual acuity is a person’s ability to see items clearly
and sharply and to recognize small details. You may wear glasses or
contact lenses to meet the minimum visual acuity standard but you
cannot wear a bioptic telescopic or similar lens. DMV can not license
drivers who do not meet the minimum visual acuity standard. (CVC
§12805)

Drivers With Monovision

Monovision is one eye treated or untreated for distance by surgery or
contact lenses, and one eye treated or untreated for close-up vision.
If you have monovision, you may not be able to meet DMV’s vision
screening standard.

Otis Brown: Once an idiot.  Always an idiot.

"Monovision — If you have monovision (one eye corrected for distance vision and one eye treated or untreated for close-up vision) and DMV has no record of your vision condition, the DMV employee will give you a Report of Vision Examination (DL 62) and ask you to see your vision specialist. When you return with your completed DL 62, you will be asked to take a Supplemental Driving Performance Evaluation (driving test) to determine if you can drive safely."

Just exactly, why are you posting this subject matter right now?

Are we going from myopia to monoocularism?

He'll never EVER admit when he's wrong (granted: he'd be doing nothing else), but ... when it makes it through even HIS impermeable skull that he's wrong ... he usually just moves on to be wrong about something else.

I think you've been around long enough, by now, to see that.

I'd venture a guess that a third of the things HE posts contradict HIS own assertions.  I mean ... that's just hilarious !

It would be wise for the person who gets "mono-vision" to realize that
he will not qualify to drive a car with no lens.

This is an "informational" group.  You can ignore concepts science,
and facts if you choose to do so.

I have monovision and can pass those three tests unaided, so what is
the problem?

Then the person who did the mono-vision for you went "light" on the
more negative eye. A wise person indeed -- you should thank him.

Wow.

You just NEVER have ANY idea what you're talking about, do you ?????

Just as likely -- if not more -- that the person has learned to alternate fixation, and suppress the "other" image.

Otis ?  Better to be silent and thought a fool than -- year after year after year - to post and remove all doubt.

Wow.  Just .... Wow !

kind of depends on his age doesn't it Otis?  Or maybe you don't
understand.

and why does his eye have to be "negative".  I know you have
difficulty following this, but not everyone is a myope.  There are
emmetropes, amblyopes, anisometropes, hyperopes, astigmates, and
patients with mixed prescriptions.  You are only capable of thinking
about things through the narrow slit of your own personal experiences
and that's what makes you so unable to understand the overwhelming
facts that some trained and experienced professionals have taken the
time to present to you here over the years. Yet instead you just
default to your standard "dullard denial" stance.

Why don't you go off somewhere else (there's probably a "dementia"
forum out there somewhere) and give someone engineering advise on
building airplane engines, bridges, or something.  Perhaps you have
something of value to say to someone on those topics.  But here you
just keep shoving your foot farther and farther into your mouth every
time you open it.  You're kind of pathetic.  You are doing a
disservice to the old spectacle-peddlers whose outdated theories that
you still adhere to.  Ever notice how there seems to be fewer and
fewer of your like-minded buddies around.  Science moves on.  Old
notions get displaced by medical facts.

I know what Raphaelson and Merrill Allen have done!  Fade away.  Go
the way of the buggy-whip.  There's a new sheriff in town, and it's
called medical science.

Indeed there is a lot of ongoing modern research on the topic of
myopia development all over the world.  Why aren't you all over that?
Why do you keep clinging onto a few old studies that have since been
proven wrong, and instead try to use some convoluted logic to proclaim
that all primate eyes are "fundamental eyes" blah blah blah.  Get real
man.  Or fade away.

Hi Blue,

You are entitled to your disproven concept that 1) The natural eye is
NOT DYNAMIC and THERFORE 2) A neither a) Long-term near has NO EFFECT
on the refractive state of said natural eye, and b) A minus lens has
no effect on the natural eye.

That is objective science and fact -- and you are totally blind to it.

Have a nice day,

Damn, Otis.  You are SUCH an idiot !!!

Every time you get something wildly wrong (nearly always), you fall back on that tired old dodge.

Are you off your meds, again ?

Seriously.

Hi Blue OD,

Did you not read the title.

This was about mono-vision, and some concerns some people might have
about its effect on their DMV.  It is not about anything you are
rambling about.
