Removing the corrective lenses restriction on my drivers license in California?

I just got my license, and when I took the vision test at the DMV I had my contacts in. I can drive and see with no problem, I normally use my contacts for seeing the whiteboard in school. Is there a way I can take the vision test again, and have the restriction taken off?

For those who have tried Avaira Vitality contact lenses, what has been your experience wearing these contact lenses?

I'm trying out contact lenses after over 5 years of not using them, so I'm trying to find the right contact lenses for me.

So far I have tried the Acuvue Oasys contact lenses and I just did not like the way they felt on my eyes. I also tried the Acuvue Vita lenses and while those were fine, I did not like that they were monthly disposables. I'm now trying the Biofinity contact lenses and I like these a lot better, but these are also monthly disposables.

I was thinking of switching to Avaira Vitality contact lenses instead and was wondering what people's experiences were using these lenses?

I prefer to use bi-weekly lenses which is why I'm considering these lenses. I just can't seem to make monthly disposable lenses last.

Is it necessary to wear toric/astigmatism contact lenses? I find them uncomfortable and makes my eyesight blurry and out of focus?

I'm wearing contacts for the fist time in 5 years and never had to wear toric lenses before. I only have to wear lenses in one eye and that eye does not seem to be able to focus and my vision gets blurry in that eye as well. My prescription for my left eye is (SPH) -3.50, (CYL) -1.00, and Axis 152. On my right eye I was prescribed the following: (SPH) -2.75, (CYL) -.50, and Axis 125, and I was prescribed a regular contact lens for this eye and not a toric lense. So can I just wear non-toric lenses for both eyes?

Sunglass clips with prescription lenses to boost distance power?

This is a bizarre question: i have a pair of armani acetate frames. My prescription was done so it favors close up work but it is just a bit weak for distance (the difference between the two is only about a half point to 3/4 point but it is detectable by me). My frames have as an option a pair of sunglass clips. Could these clips be made with the increased power difference to use for distance? Or does the separate lenses throw off the prescription?
i'm thinking you'd ideally need to have both lenses fit tightly against each other--
any opinion would be helpful. Thanks!

btw my prescription is roughly -6 to -7 with a bit of astigmatism in each eye

I got prescription eye glasses and I don't see any difference while wearing them. Everything looks the same. What could be the reasons why?

I got them today. They are for distance. It is my first time getting glasses. I never seen anything blurry or hard to really read before so I thought it was odd that I needed them. But when I put them on, nothing looks easier to see or any difference at all when I put them on or take the glasses off. I looked at a lot of things to try to see if I could see it better and it still all looked the same. My mom and the person at the for eyes didn't get why I couldn t see the difference and I don't know why either. They said there's the prescription lenses in there. I'm going to still wear them for a couple weeks to see and test it out. Is there a reason why there's no difference in my vision while wearing the glasses? Could there be an explanation? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks.

Has anyone tried Biomedics Toric/Biomedics 55 Premier contact lenses? What is your experience with these contact lenses?

I'm trying out contact lenses after over 5 years of not using them. I've been an eyeglasses wearer and have gotten fed up with wearing glasses. I went to the eye doctor and have astigmatism in one eye and no astigmatism in the other eye. My optometrist prescribed Acuvue Oasys and Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism. The astigmatism lense is very uncomfortable and I can actually feel it in my eye. Whereas I can't feel the contact lense in my non-astigmatism eye. I even tried wearing non-astigmatism lenses in both eyes (Acuvue Oasis) and my eyes are more comfortable like this since I can't feel the lenses in either eye. However, my eyesight gets more blurry and out of focus this way.

I was thinking of switching to Biomedics Toric/Biomedics 55 Premier contact lenses instead and was wondering what people's experiences were using these lenses, especially those of you who have astigmatism?

I prefer to use bi-weekly lenses which is why I'm considering these lenses, but any other recommendations are welcome.

Refractive surgery paid by insurance?

Even with contact lenses, my vision can't be better than 20/50 in my left eye, and 20/30 in my right.

I had cataract surgery last year. Nobody will do anything until two years have passed.

If I have a letter stating that my eyes are not correctable to 20/20 using glasses or contact lenses. The surgery is not elective. Will insurance pay for refractive surgery?

I'm asking if anyone has tried.
Added (1). I'm scared because in five years I might not be able to drive.
