So here's the situation:
I've never been able to pass the tri-color plate tests with the mystical hidden numbers / shapes. I've always been administered the lantern test as an auxiliary and I've passed it repeatedly for years, including a year ago in R.I. At one point I even had a opto-neurologist give me an even more difficult test than both the lantern and the plates and I aced the thing.
So, this Tuesday I had my NOMI physical and just could not pass the lantern test. I dunno what it was, stress, over-thinking, not enough sleep, trying to do it with their stupid chunky corrective lenses on my face, who knows. They brought me in again today to try again and I passed, but "not consistently enough for them to sign off on it."
Now I'm getting NPQ'd with recommendation for no waiver (no waivers for color blindness)
Are there any recommendations for ways I can get this re-evaluated, re-tested, undone, etc, because I KNOW I have sufficient color vision to be a NFO. What can I do and who can I talk to to get something done about this?
