Eyesight qeuries

I am currently the proud owner of a JAA Class one medical, however during the initial coulour perception test and was told i ´might´have a problem, at which point the ophthalmologist, put me in a dark room for 30 minutes. When he came back he led me into a dark room, where I was told to open my eyes, and performed the ´holmes-wright lantern test´.

After this I was told no problems whatsoever, just that some people do better on this than the ishihara plates...

My concern is that during the renewal if there are only the ishihara plates and i dont do se well, can I have my medical taken off me????

Blacknight,

As far as I know, once you have passed a colour test at the initial medical, you don't take a colour vision test again when you go for your renewal.
