Vision Screening evaluates visual acuity, depth perception, peripheral vision, and color discrimination for workplace safety and job-related requirements. Many jobs require specific visual capabilities, and regular screening ensures employees can safely perform their duties.

Vision requirements vary by occupation. DOT drivers, pilots, crane operators, and many others have specific vision standards they must meet. Workplace vision screening identifies employees who may need corrective lenses or further evaluation.
