Abstract
According to both the Canadian Human Rights Act and the American Disabilities Act, a valid vision standard is one that establishes through objective means, a minimum level of vision required by the essential tasks of an occupation. Such a standard must be set to ensure that the necessary visual qualifications are met to preserve good job performance and public safety without unnecessarily excluding qualified applicants.
