    Isn't 'guidance' different from 'regulation' though? In my previous profession, if you had good reason to deviate from guidance then nothing to stop you, you just had to be able to justify it if required. The TOCs just choose not to?

    Eyesight medical requirements Advice plz

    Highest number so R +4.50 and L +5.50 If adding them together gave you a higher number you'd go by that.

    Eyesight medical requirements Advice plz

    Your worst eye is +6.00 max, your other is +1.50 max. You are looking for the highest number. In your case, adding them together gives a lower number.

    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 Edit... oops... sorry highest number you get, and you might have to add them together.

    Incorrect. The test allows a colour vision deficiency to be recorded as mild or strong deuteranopia or protanopia. But yes, it's use in the railway is pass or fail I believe.

    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.

    Eyesight medical requirements Advice plz

    Shaw, unaided vision and prescription are two different things. The unaided vision of a 24 year old with a +4.00 correction will be quite different from that of a 54 year old with the same +4.00 correction, as the 24 year old will have more ability to change focus with the lens of their eye...

    There is no standard for unaided vision. Your combined prescription is -6.75 in the RE and -5.75 in the LE which is below the -8.00 limit.

    Ishihara test — is it 24 plates or 38? Margin for error?

    Ishihara involves a test plate that all can see, a number of plates that can be read incorrectly with red-green deficiency or not at all with total deficiency, a number that cannot be seen with defective colour vision, and a number that can only be read with red-green deficiency. So it's not...
