Rule 761-604.10 - Vision screening

(1)Requirement. Vision screening or a vision report is required of an applicant for a driver's license.

(2)Method. At driver's license service centers, a vision screening instrument shall be used to screen the applicant's vision. An applicant who has corrective lenses may be screened with or without the corrective lenses.

(3)Report. A vision report shall be submitted on Form 430032 signed by a licensed vision specialist and shall report the person's visual acuity level and field of vision as measured within 30 days prior to the date of the application. In lieu of Form 430032, a vision report signed by a licensed vision specialist on the specialist's letterhead may be accepted if it contains all the information specified on Form 430032.

(4)Exception for persons renewing electronically. An applicant renewing a driver's license electronically pursuant to 761-subrule 605.25(7) is not required to complete a vision screen or submit a vision report to complete the renewal. This subrule does not preclude the department from requiring a vision screen or vision report of a person who has renewed a driver's license electronically when the department has reason to believe that the person is not capable of operating a motor vehicle safely.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 321.186,321. 186A and 321.196.
