Failed Depth Perception...

KODAK

"Any time in this type?"

My experience for those interested:

Visited my eye doc yesterday for my yearly checkup and asked to do the depth perception test and color test while I was there. Thankfully I correctly read all nine points using the "stereo fly" depth perception test, the only test of the three approved that they had for me to take. The technician was not positive which numbers corresponded to which values of "seconds of arc" so I did a little research this morning for my own edification:

"Stereo fly" standards (800 to 40 sec of arc, page 2) http://eiiwebassets.s3.amazonaws.com/s/sterooptical/pdf/stereotests/Stereo%20Fly%20manual.pdf
"Randot" test standards (400 to 20 sec 0f arc, page 1) http://eiiwebassets.s3.amazonaws.com/s/sterooptical/pdf/stereotests/Randot%20manual.pdf

Has anyone considered buying one of the stereo fly/ randot test booklets to practice with? The prices I have found online are astronomical ($200+ each), but I know that a little bit of practice beforehand would have made me feel a lot more confident about my answers.. I have been practicing a couple minutes each day with a Snellen distance vision chart 20' away, and practice (not memorization) seems to help me.

Just wanted to say that I also failed at MEPS. I just got back from a civilian optometrist and scored a 20 Arc on the randot. My OR is now working with me to go to NAS Jacksonville for more testing.
