Doesn't FL have a vision test for driver's license renewal?

Oh, that's right... They do...

From the Google Machine:

"Report of Eye Exam: For original licenses, and at the time of each renewal license, your eyesight will be tested by the driver license examiner designated by the department or by a licensed ophthalmologist, optometrist, or physician using FLHSMV Report of Eye Exam Form 72010."

Wouldn't that be the solution to stopping people who cannot see from driving?
