The answer

What you did by insisting on the eye exam to obtain the license is what is required by Islamic law. By doing so, you have cleared your conscience and avoided deception. There is no need for obsessive doubts or anxiety, because eyeglasses compensate for poor vision, and you should change them with a specialized doctor whenever you feel a decrease [in vision]. There is no legal impediment to possessing and using the aforementioned license.
