Yes, it happened to me and I passed the lantern test although this was a number of years ago now.

Does anyone know whether any research has been carried out on whether Dyslexia is capable of affecting the results of the ishihara plates? One of the effects of dyslexia can be a difficulty in distinguishing shapes - hence the problems with reading/writing.

I wonder because my son has been diagnosed with dyslexia and also as being colour blind. If I remember rightly colour blindness is passed through the female line and there is no history of colour blindness in my wife's family.

Some of my sons symptoms resemble difficulties I had at school - although in those days it was put down to laziness - and whilst I have always had a problem with the plate tests I found the lantern test a piece of cake.
