I've been puzzled about that too. When I did my first
go round with soft multifocals about the best we could
do for distance was 20/40 at one point. I was stunned.
I felt barely functional. I did try driving (during the day)
but felt *very* uncomfortable doing so. I went a couple
of blocks, parked and took them out (presbyopia is what
I need corrected - my distance script is around +1 or less).
That vision was unacceptable to me. I can understand if
one is only *correctable* to 20/40 then you could *legally*
drive if necessary. But to have a goal of 20/40 not corrected
so you can drive without correction seems pointless.
In fact, I think if you do so you're self centered and
irresponsible. If 20/40 has been determined to be the
minimum safe limit I think it should only apply as
best corrected attested by a doctor. Allowable uncorrected
should be much more stringent. So I agree with you 100%.

Why this obsession with "pass the DMV"? Most people
don't want to see 20/40, despite what you repeatedly keep
saying. Please understand and absorb the fact that most
people don't want to walk around seeing 20/40, or blowing
off a -1.5 diopter prescription (sph or cyl) if they can
wear glasses and see clearly. When corrected, I see
20/15 or slightly better, and I can tell when I'm not
there. Doctors on this forum have indicated that this is
not unusual (being picky). Please assimilate this
information and stop acting like everyone is as
un-demanding about their vision as you claim to be.
Even if you guys had a way of getting nearsighted people
to 20/40, it doesn't do all that much except keep some
people from having to find their glasses to go to the
bathroom at night.

Think about your poor eyes and take the effort at the
treshold to always pass the 20/40 DMV. Because Otis and
I are NOT doctors, we both have suggested you seek a
second opinion optometrist who can pescribe a plus
lens(with prisms if neccessary) and he can also teach
you about the dynamic eye and how to keep it a positive
refractive state. Otis realizes the importance of
preventing myopia at the threshold and keeping your
distance vision clear and always passing DMV. He has
saved dozens of children from stair-case myopia
including his own nephew and neice(she DOES pass the
DMV, at least in the better eye) He is to be praised for
his way of thinking and as an engineer for understanding
that the eye is dynamic and not passive. A -2 or -3
diopter minus lens will cause stair-case myopia in
chickens and monkies and any other animals. Lots of near
work starts the first signs of myopia and something
needs to be done at the treshold or if you dont and use
the wretched minus lens, your eyes will get worse year
after year.
