in merchant navy medical test eye site and colorblindness are the two major factor....
even if there is a point defect in your eye sight then you will be rejected....same is the colorblindness test......it is for those candidates who have cleared the eye sight teat.....
they will be showing you different colors on a screen and you have to very quickly answer for the color you saw..............
if there is a small defect then they give advise for laser operation....and then you will be eligible for it......
best of luck

hi friend,

there is a very strict colour blindness test for admission to merchant navy.

for cadet entry you need to have an eyesight of 6/6 in both eyes without any glasses.

and also they will take a colorblindness test called ishira test,if you fail in that test then you will be surely rejected.
