Colour Vision Test
 

Anyone knows what kind of colour vision test is CX taking?
Will there be a lantern test? or under what circumstances will a lantern test occur?

Thansk buddy!

They make you do the Edridge-Green lantern test.

Thanks for the reply mate! :)

So, under what situation will the doctor send me to the lantern test? Can't read the Ishihara chart? If so, one or all charts? AS I know, people with a light version of colour deficiency would already be unable to perform the IShihara chart, so blessing that CX will give me a chance.


Thanks for answering!

I don't know what the lantern test is but I just did my medical with them for my final interview. They make you read numbers from a booklet with colored spots

They are extremely strict on the initial medical with both the Edridge-Green and Isiahara tests used. If you are marginal they will ask you to attend an opthalmologist at you own expense back home and forward a report...however, as with all CX interviews the doc is very often the final arbiter in a number of cases...It's quite a hard medical to pass..by the same token it's a fairly hard medical to lose (once your in)...hence the initial high standard.:D

vicleecy, thread from Medical and Health forum might be helpful, not specific to cx, but discusses lantern tests and some general stuff on color vision.

FYI I have your problem (lantern test, not Ishihara), and the Air Macau doctor was fine, so long as you had passed the lantern test somewhere else.

thanks much for your reply....
it comformts me a lot

so to confirm one, if I CAN PASS the lantern test in CX, I am fine.

Latern Test
 

I was very worried about this when I went for my second interview.
Let me put it to you this way, I have had a problem with the Colour Blindness test with the #'s all my life. To the extent that if you put a gun to my head and said read them, I would just say shoot.

During my second interview, I was given the same test and of course I didn't do well. The dusted off the old Lantern for me and I passed it.

Just about to get checked to line!

Hope this puts you to ease, it was a stressful point for me too.

Thanks a lot PUDDY!!

Your posts really eases my a lot! and I am glad to hear you are checking into line.

Right now I am waiting for a medical check call after my 2nd interview. Have been waiting for a week but still no letter(good!) and no call as well (bad)....a bit nervous, don't know what's going around as some candidates are receiving the call.

Anyway, thanks much and I appreciate it much!

No news is good news, it only takes 2 seconds to say no.
I had to wait 6 weeks, it drove me insane!
Keep positive!

Heres one to practice on.

Colour Vision Test

Thanks Wiz,

My eye sight is fine, it's only my heart I have to worry about now!!;)

Cheers, HH.

:ok:

Good one Howard Hughes, that one kept me laughing for a while! :}

If that test was a real colour vision test, my eyesight is fine.

Puddy I left you a PM.

But anyways, could you delve more into your experience of having a lantern test and then checking into line?

I find these kind of success posts hugely interesting. See I want that to happen to me because neither I can see the darn dot numbers!

"Cheking into line"... Congrats!
