DQ on distant visual acuity

[Amy7Johnson]

My son just checked the dodmerb website and it shows a pending dq for D155.41 distant visual acuity not correctable to 20/20....the reason we are so confused is that we have the paper from the opthomologist that shows his distance vision is 20/100 but both eyes are correctable to 20/20...and the opthomologist told him all looked great...why is the form marked as yes on correctable to 20/20 yet dodmerb says no?....any ideas?

Give the DoDMERB help desk a call. Perhaps they can provide an answer. It sure doesn't make sense to me.

DODMERB tech may have transposed the numbers incorrectly into the database.

As previously recommended, would get on top of this quickly so the DQ train doesn’t go far down the track if this is a simple error.

Hopefully you kept a copy of the DODMERB physical exam forms.

Have you heard anything in response for this? I ask because we went through the same thing last year with my DS. We sent in two separate reports from optometrists we visited on our own and successfully had the DNQ overturned. It can be done.

He contacted the Naval Academy and they said that a waiver is being requested for him. They said it should show up as to what we need to do on Dodmerbs site soon- hopefully we will know something soon!
