<p>The results for my medicals were posted on DoDMERB last night as Qualified. However, I was certain that due to my vision it would be listed as waiverable. I am wondering if anyone else has come across something like this before, and what I should do about it. It would kill me to receive an appointment, get there on I-Day and be sent home because the Academy didn't know that I don't have perfect vision.</p>
<p>Ooooh, a big sticky one. I would start with calling dodmerb and asking them.</p>
<p>FewAndProud16,</p>
<p>If you vision isn't worse than 20/40 you are medically qualified. What makes you think that you aren't qualified?</p>
<p>F&P: the only "vision" item tested again on I-Day is for colorblindness....</p>
<p>if that is an issue, get it addressed now-
otherwise, I would not lose any sleep over this one....unless there is more to this than what you have posted...</p>
<p>have you received an appt to USNA yet?</p>
<p>Do they usually send you home on I-day if you fail the colorblindness test? I can't pass the Ishihara(circle with dots) test that they gave for dodmerb, but I passed a different test later and was qualified unrestricted line.</p>
<p>it is my understanding that you must pass the colorblind test... I am not sure which test they use, however....</p>
<p>sounds like this is an issue you might want to address before arriving..... you don't need anything holding you up in medical on I-Day!</p>
<p>They use FALANT for red/green color weakness. If you passed the FALANT before you should have no problems,</p>
<p>Thanks. I passed the FALANT test, so I should be good to go.</p>
<p>Vision is definitely worse than 20/40; not sure the exact numbers, but my prescription stands at +2.50 and +3.00, however that translates.</p>
<p>No appt. yet; navy2010, are you sure that's the only vision test on I-Day? How do they determine your need for the BCU glasses or the prescription strength you need?</p>
<p>^^^^you send your perscription ahead of time with the rest of the paperwork. The BCU are there ready and waiting on IDay. The only vision test is the color test.</p>
<p>How cool is that! A FREE pair of safety specs!! :cool::eek:</p>
