Ishihara Plates in the medical
So I'm coming up to my Class 1 medical soon, and I understand that they test for colour blindness. Although I have never been officially diagnosed with colour blindness I am aware that I have often had difficulty distinguishing reds and greens when they are close together.
After some research I came across the Ishihara test (which is apparently the same test used in Class 1 Medical Examinations). While doing these tests on the internet I failed almost every one, not boding well for the medical.
So if I do fail the Ishihara test in my medical, what are the options (I'm based in Australia by the way)? I hear theres a lantern test I can do, but how hard is that when compared with the Ishihara test? And If I fail that what next, give up? Has anyone been through a similar situation?
