8. I had cataracts removed on both my eyes.

After a lifetime of wearing glasses on account of nearsighted astigmatism, I now have 20/20 vision and could have the glasses restriction removed from my driver's license. I still need reading glasses cause I couldn't afford the extra cost of the crystal lenses. However, I don't know how old you are. You don't have to have the surgery right away if you can still see to drive. Maybe you can't drive at night, but if you can hang in there, until you are sixty-five Medicare picks up the cost.
