Aoc Hrr 2nd Edition Test
Commercial medical test or device diagnosing presence and type of deficiency. AOC HRR 2nd Ed (now out of print). Require HRR supplemental YB plates. I would say that it is safe to say that all anomalous trichromats can find a test they can pass. The term 'colorblind' has created somewhat of a.
Need to solicit some educated opinions. Background DS#1 DQ'ed from USNA for red/green deficiency after completing application. That's when I wised up and gave the Ishihara test to all of my kids. DS#2 passed, DS#3 failed, DD passed. DS#2 admitted to USNA Class of 2020 Unexpectedly, DS#3 is being recruited for swimming at KP. Being an ex-merchant mariner and having a 25 year career in naval engineering, I encouraged him to apply and to go on a recruiting trip. However, his color vision issue obviously looms.
From what I can gather from the CFR's on the testing standard, if DS goes engineering (his preference anyway), he only need pass one of the applicable tests. The operative paragraph states: (b) Engineering, radio officer, tankerman, and MODU standard.
A mariner must have correctable vision to at least 20/50 in one eye and uncorrected vision of at least 20/200 in the same eye and need only the ability to distinguish the colors red, green, blue, and yellow. The color sense must be determined to be satisfactory when tested by any color-vision test listed in paragraph (a) of this section, or an alternative test acceptable to the Coast Guard, without the use of color-sensing lenses. The Coast Guard will accept Farnsworth D-15 Hue Test as a color vision test to meet the requirements of this paragraph.
The color vision tests referenced are: (i) Pseudoisochromatic Plates (Dvorine, 2nd Edition; AOC; revised edition or AOC-HRR; Ishihara 14-, 24-, or 38-;plate editions). (ii) Farnsworth Lantern. (iii) Titmus Vision Tester/OPTEC 2000.
(iv) Optec 900. (v) Richmond Test, 2nd and 4th edition. I already know that he will fail the PiP test. Based on experience with DS#1, I don't want him (or me) to go through a huge effort applying to an academy where he can't pass DODMERB. Now I'm about to take him up to KP next week for this recruiting trip with the feeling in the pit of my stomach that it might be for naught.

Click to expand.Mr. Mullen's LinkedIn profile still shows him at DODMERB. You may be thinking of DODMERB Consultants, easily found by googling, headed up by Dr. Glenn Merchant, formerly of DODMERB. Some here on SAF have had good luck in using his company. It is a fee service, but the OP may be able to have an initial phone consult that helps a great deal. USNA does waive a very small number of color vision DQs a year, which limits them to commissioning in certain restricted line communities.
There are several threads on this in various forums. I want to share a few things I have recently learned. This from the Health System Administrator at USMMA. Candidates are evaluated medically by The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB). Currently, they use the PIP () Because of the many discrepancies and continual scrutiny on this subject, Health Services retests candidates when they arrive for INDOC. If a Candidate who passed the PIP with their DODMERB examination fails it when they arrive at USMMA (it happens more often than you can imagine) we retest using an outside third party qualified vision professional.
The tests we request, that meet USCG standards, are a Farnsworth Lantern ( a test for red, green only) and a newly USCG approved Farnsworth Lantern D-15 (a test for Red, Green, Yellow & Blue). The later test is acceptable ONLY for engineering majors/licenses as it does not include depth perception. The former is ONLY for deck majors/officers.
If a Candidate passes both (they must pass both) we retain them at USMMA and document the testing used. The question that probably comes to mind is if they fail the PIP at DODMERB, does DODMERB coordinate with USMMA before giving a DQ. That answer is yes.
I will be contacting him to get more information. It seems to me that there is a narrow path for DS#3. Click to expand.This doesn't make sense as there are no color vision tests that simultaneously test depth perception that I am aware of and definitely neither the Farmsworth Lantern or D-15 do not.
In fact color vision tests, for medical diagnosis purposes, are used under monocular conditions which would artificially remove stereo vision (what they mean by depth perception). I'm going to guess they mean that engineering officers must pass the D15 because it is more 'in depth' than the Lantern test which is important for folks who need to be able to see the colors of electrical wires. A deck officer probably only needs red/green/white discrimination in order to see running lights and therefore can pass with the less 'in depth' lantern testing. I verified with USMMA that he needs to pass BOTH Falant tests and that one does, indeed, test for depth perception. The medical office there also said that this situation is more common than people think.
