Regular testing will only prevent a larger outbreak though? If either the trainee or the DI test positive, it is likely too late for the other... and their household. You are effectively creating an extended household and have to consider that you are increasing your chain of contacts through...

Maximum combined. Add them together, but watch for + and -. eg. -5.00/+200x180 has max of -5, -5.00/-2.00x180 has max of -7

The Ishihara test IS a red-green deficiency test. It can determine whether a person has total colour blindness, or mild or strong red or green deficiencies.
I would think the maximum combined power would be used as a prescription can be written in + or - cyl form.
+5.25/-3.50x180 and +1.75/+3.50x90 are exactly the same prescription.
