I don't see anywhere in there where it says you must take our your
contacts or conduct a vision exam uncorrected. I wonder if that's
another urban legend.

It's hard to find in there. Go to #51, Near and Intermediate Vision.
Then Examination Techniques. Even though it doesn't seem to matter
what it is uncorrected, so why test it?

Interestingly, I did a private with a student
last year that wore the monocular correction (one near, one distant
contacts). She had no problem getting her 3rd class but the link above
indicates that that is not allowed.

Strange. I also had no problem when I was using monocular five or so
years ago. Or perhaps he forgot to ask Can't recall. Switched
to progressives anyway.
