Do you read the 20/50 line? Does that pass the DMV requirement in your state, or not? This is why I advocate, regardless of your prescription -- you read your own Snellen. The requirements run from Florida 20/70, to Georgia 20/60, Texas 20/50, and PA, 20/40. See: http://www.lowvisioncare.com/driving_regulations.html ODs prescribe for the stronges minus possible. This means that, if you don't check yourself, you could be wearing at -2 diopter, when you would pass the 20/40 line. Above are the state-by-state requirements.

But, when you get to -1 diopters, I would suggest a transistion to reading a Snellen chart. Here is one for free. http://www.i-see.org/eyecharts.html Select "Joel Schnieder" -- then print it out.
