@2close: Thank you for your informative reply! What's the chances of me doing well at the CAD tests when I can't see a single Ishihara plate? My parents have sat with me and went through all the plates like a hot knife through butter (pretty much confirms my CVD). I will also read the PM, thanks!
@brissypilot: It's really frustrating. Why not just test us on the primary colours associated with the job? Is it really that difficult? I for example can tell the difference between most colours. It's shades of reds and green that do me in. Of course I will book an appointment with my optometrist(?) and see what they have to say! Thanks!
