Colorado Vision Requirements
For Driving
Searching the internet, this is the best
summary of information I could find for vision requirements for the state
of Colorado.
General Requirements
A 10 year renewal cycle (mail-in every other cycle). At age 61, reduction
in renewal to 5 years. No renewal by mail at age 66. Vision test required
at renewal. Written test required only if point accumulations result in
suspension (12 points in 12 mo., or 18 points in 24 mo., for non-minor and
non-commercial drivers). Minimum acuity must be 20/70 in the better eye if
worse eye is 20/200 or better; 20/40 if worse eye is worse than 20/200.

Colorado Driver Handbook; Vision Requirements
VISION SCREENING: Your vision will be tested to determine if you can see
well enough to drive safely. If the test discloses that you need
corrective lenses to meet the minimum requirements, you license will show
this restriction. Failure to meet established vision standards will result
in initial rejection and referral to a vision specialist for correction
and recommendations at the applicant's expense. The minimum vision
standard is 20/40. Source: DRP 2337, Part 1, Updated 06/04.
