I have read several posts from earlier this year about not being able to drive in Florida with Bioptic lenses. I have been driving in MA with Bioptics for almost 20 years now, and my wife and I are considering moving to Florida in a couple of years after my daughter graduates HS here in MA. I drive at all times of day and night and have not caused any accidents during my time as a driver.

At one point some folks were starting to look into getting a movement together to work on the Florida legislature to change the laws. Has any movement occured? How can I help? I am very interested in making this type of change for all of us who either already live there (FL) or are looking to relocate there.

Please let me know what I can do to help...
