I'm sorry if some people get angry with this thread. I've searched for it and found some info, but I am in need of help. I just got back from MEPS where I failed the color vision test. I was really tired and the guy flipped through the little book so fast I barely got a chance to speak. I don't know if he knew that him failing me just ruined my career. Well from what my OSO said, I have to pass a civilian optometrist color vision test that they will put into my MEPS paperwork that says I'm not colorblind. I was told I have to do this before I am even allowed to do a flight physical in Florida. I know most optometrist use the ishihara plates, but I'm worried because I had problems with them at MEPS. From what I've read on the site, many others have had similar problems. I have called every optometrist in the book and none of them have the falant test. One thread said to look up FAA eye exam people but I couldn't find anything on it. I would appreciate any help or advice. Right now it seems like my aviation dreams just got shot down.
