For those companies in the United States be careful not to violate the American Disabilities Act. I am no expert on the subject, but the Military did omit the vision testing requirements. If pushed too far your company may be facing litigation concerning a disgruntled employee. Just a thought... Gregg A.

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.
