"Your license says you have to wear the glasses prescribed by your optician."
"I am. My optician prescribed me no glasses and I'm wearing them."
She got a bit annoyed and issued me with my speeding ticket and told me to get a letter and get my license changed !
When I first got my glasses at 22 I wore them all the time (even went to sleep in bed with them on sometimes) I had my licence listed with glasses. However when I got older I did not need the glasses all the time and went to the registry office and did their eyesight test at which I did not need glasses to pass easily so I had the "glasses" removed from my licence.

I can still read all but the bottom line on the test chart without glasses.

I have never tried pistol shooting but I was pretty deadly with a .380 revolver in the army. Loved adding features on the face of the target at 25 paces and then put 6 or 7 shots through the neck so the head fell off.
