I'm glad to hear you got through!
Here in the UK, I failed both the Ishihara and Holmes-Wright, as I'm slightly red-deficient (protanomolous).
Apparently the white used for the lantern test has quite a lot of green in it, and as I don't see red quite so well, I confuse it with the white. After I'd failed, I was allowed a closer look, and I still confused the colours at a range of 1ft from the lantern.
Have any red-defectives had any luck, as I turned down a sponsorship due to this problem?
Thanks...
