Agreed, I was around -1.2 IIRC and was fuzzy enough that I wore glasses to drive as well.
LOL that you can "train your eyes" to 20/20. Congratulations, that is hands down the dumbest thing I've heard in at least a month.
After the surgery and once you have an eye exam where they tell you your vision is 20/20 or thereabouts, request a letter confirming that you had LASIK and that your vision is now "perfect" and keep it in your car until the next time you have to renew your license (if that's relatively soon). If not, still request the letter, but look into what you need to do to get the license restriction dropped from the DMV, most likely you'll have to suck it up, go into the DMV one day, and take the eye test, then they'll mail you a new license in a few weeks. I hate the DMV (I needed a new license when I got out of the military anyway, so I just did it then), but to get the restriction dropped so you don't have to worry if you are pulled over, it's probably worth it.
