NAMI Color Test

[Sabre170]

I hate the test where you look at a page of colored dots and somewhere there should be a number I am suppose to see. I only see about half of them and always have to revert to the red light, green light, and white light test.

Well Here is s fun link to help practice the colored dot test. I think I have seen this before, but I couldn't find the thread, so here it is again.

When I was at NAMI 3 weeks ago I only did the red, white, and green test. Are they even still doing the colored dots test?

Yes, during your annual flight physical. It seems that the accessions test is the light test. I wish they would just use the lamps, as I can't stand the book. There's always one I can't get, and another that the guy has to tell me what to look for 3 times.

I showed my girlfriend that test and she teared up and screamed. She was shaking for about 3 minutes after. HILARIOUS!!

*off subject*..........what about depth perception? During my flight physical, the corpsman held up a little box with open slots at different depths. I passed it. But at MEPS, they had me look at circles in some machine that kept fading in and out and I failed. Anybody else take this test? It's bugging me that I passed one but failed the other.

I took the depth perception test with the circles at meps and failed. I then had to go to an optometrist, who said I had fine depth perception. Just goes to show, don't trust the Navy and their stupid little tests.

I think that I'll have my eyes checked again once I'm commissioned. It kind of gave me a complex. LOL

I wouldnt... Never go looking for trouble. Only take eye exams when you have to, dont go giving them an extra oppertunity to fail you and disqual you from something.

Zippy has a good point. Don't let the Navy do it. If it was just the circle test you failed, forget about it. That thing is a piece of crap and your eyes are probably fine. You should know if you have bad eyes.

Understood.

Back home where i do my FAA medical, the last color test picture has no number in it so when I took it for the first time and couldnt see anything, i was freaking out (in my mind). I took time trying to adjust my eyes and my position and after some time went by, the person who was doing it with me laughed and just said there was nothing there. I hate when that happens (when they scare you like that).

You should know if you have bad eyes.

Not always true. Lots of people live with Glaucoma and feel fine...until they go blind. The Glaucoma test is the puff test you get with every eye exam to check intra-ocular (sp?) pressure.

Some things you need help with.

Admittedly, the depth perception one is a bit hokey. But they have a couple of types and almost always will let you try another test.
