For some context: I used ortho-k contacts up until October when I first took my medical exam. I did fine on the physical, but when I took my eye exam I was informed that I wasn’t supposed to have worn my contacts for the past three months and would need to reschedule another eye exam in three...

I recently took my DoDMERB eye exam. Colorblindness runs in my family, so I have previously taken colorblindness tests which I have passed. During the DoDMERB exam, I messed up on a few of the colorblindness slides. I don’t think I’m colorblind, since I have passed tests of this nature before...
