If the screening shows a need for corrective eyeglasses or any other corrective action, the renewal of the applicant's license shall be conditioned upon his compliance with such need. The division may require a road test of any applicant to determine the adequacy of, or the applicant's adaptation to the required corrective action. The division shall, by regulation, prescribe minimum standards with respect to the equipment to be used for screenings. L. 1977, c. 28, s. 1; amended 1979,c.446; 1989,c.15,s.1.
