So I got my 3rd class medical back, and even though I failed the color vision portion in the doctors office, it's not listed as a restriction on my medical certificate. I told the doctor's assistant for each color plate that she showed me, that I can't see any numbers, clearly indicating that I'm color blind. The only thing listed as a restriction on my certificate is the fact that I must wear corrective lenses. No nighttime restrictions... nothing to indicate my colorvision problem.
Now here is the kicker, I just got my medical cleared after 6 months of waiting, because of some other health issues that had to get taken care of first. I'm not sure if I should go back and tell the doctor that it's not listed, or if I should just fly because essentially they messed it up. I'm worried that if I go back and tell them, it's going to take another 6 months to get my medical back again.
I can see red and greens lights just fine, in fact I ran into the same issue in the Air Force and passed the falant lantern test with ease, I just cant see the color vision test plates.
Any thoughts on what to do? I know for some the FAA not catching their color vision issues might be a dream, but I don't want it to come back and bite me in the butt later down the road.
