What am I ??????????

Hi all,

I have two questions:

1. Can a person with Dichromat - Deuternanopia become a pilot? This means that the person is moderatley severe and one of the basic mechanism is absent. In this case because it is Deutermanopia, it is the Green pigment which is absent/missing.

2. Can a person be Dichromat - and at the same time be part Deuteranopia and part Deuteronomaly ?

The reason I am asking the second question is because, after I took the Anomaloscope test, my Dr said that I was Dichromat but at the same time Deuteranopia AND Deuternomaly. This does not make any sence because according to my research, for a person to be Deuternomaly, that person needs to be Anomalous Trichromacy(One of the 3 cone pigments are altered. It is inpairment rather than lost) NOT Dichromat.

Thanks for the answers in advance,

Regards
