I have moderate deuteranomaly, so I didn't realize it when I was young. I got a job when I was in my teens picking tomatoes, I only lasted 3 days! I kept getting told off for leaving the 'obvious' ripe ones and for picking the green ones. (You're supposed to pick them when they have just turned from green to faint orange). Only later did I realize others could actually see the difference easily, at the time i thought it was just the fact i was new at it. As an adult, I...

This is because there is some operational or safety aspect of the job that requires one to be able to distinguish between colors (indicator lights, smoke flares, etc.). Because of this, color vision requirements are not waiverable for military jobs which require normal color vision. The military defines normal color vision by use of one of three tests: the Pseudoisochromatic Plate (PIP) Set, Farnsworth Lantern (FALANT), or the OPTEC 90...

I know exactly what you mean about people quizzing you on what colors things are. It bugs me soooooooooo much, especially when they ask stupid questions. I mean, it's not too bad if they ask a question regarding two colors that I can't see well. But I've gotten questions like, What color is the sky? or What color is the American flag?
