You may recall the initial NASA  HDBK 5300  required all inspectors and
operators to  have vision tested including color blindness tests.

IPC does not require this that I am aware of.  Corrected vision is really a
good thing both from a company and personnel stand point.

As a part of the  Training and Certification  you could as a company policy
require
eye exams.  After all, you have to take an eye exam for a drivers license,
std of commercial.
