Hi Rogal,

The news is not good, I'm afraid.

The anomaloscope is the gold standard as far as colour vision testing goes.

You will have to look through an eye-piece at a circle split into two halves, a top semi-circle and a bottom semi-circle.

You will be expected to match the two semi-circles so they look the same. This will be done using various hues and saturations and you will be 'scored' based on the settings you use to 'match' the colours.

This is a very difficult test to pass and many colour normal persons apparently fall outside the limits set by the JAA.

I would try an alternative test if I were you.

HTH
