[13 / 2 / 9]
I used to work for a rail inspection company, but they didn't do my physical until a few months in wherein I was let go because my left eye was 20/50 corrected, just past the 20/40 requirement. I sorely miss that job and want to go back. This past March, the DOT passed a change saying you now only need 20/40 in the BETTER eye, not both. My right is 20/20. Does anyone know if the FRA is subject to this change too? I know the FRA is under the DOT and use the same health card but I don't know if this change affects rail workers too or just truckers.
