A score under at least 70% on the D.O.T. Physical at Peripheral Vision Test (Page 3) results in additional REQUIRED Testing OR simply being done with A & B Truck Driving.

That's where I am.

Started Trucking in late '98, ending '19.

I've had:
Laser Surgery
Doctors often recommend laser surgery before incisional surgery, unless the eye pressure is very high or the optic nerve is badly damaged. During laser surgery, a focused beam of light is used to treat the eye's trabecular meshwork (the eye's drainage system). This helps increase the flow of fluid out of the eye.
