Answers:
You have a mild prescription and you likely have at least 20/40 vision uncorrected with your left eye!. I have a similar prescription and do not have the restriction on my driver's license!. My right eye has 20/20 vision and easily passes the eye test at the DMV!. My left eye has between 20/50 and 20/60 vision and does not pass the test at the DMV!.

I choose to wear corrective lenses while driving even though I am not required to!. I prefer being able to see the road and street signs with both eyes!. I suggest that you do the same!.

You should wear your eyeglasses when you need them for activities requiring good distance vision!. I do not think you need to wear them at all times unless you want to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A myopic Rx like yours isn't likely to warrant any driving restrictions!. However, you were given a prescription because you see better with it!. You should consider wearing your spectacle or contact lens correction at all times, especially when responsibly operating a moving vehicle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You probably won't be required to wear corrective lenses when you get your driver's license because your prescription is mild enough not to have to wear glasses when driving!.

I wish I could be as lucky!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its unlikely as your left eye has a really mild prescription even though your right eye may not be up to DMV standard!. You should only use glasses if you feel the need to do so!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
