MEPS said I have colorblindness but I for sure am not colorblind. How should I make sure they are corrected?

Im currently in the U.S. Air Force DEP and have been through MEPS. On my medical documents they said I was colorblind, except I have 0 family history of having it and have been cleared by civilian doctors of having colorblindness. How should I get the records fixed? Any help is appreciated greatly since I have aspirations of earning AFSC’s that require color vision. Thank you!

It is far more likely that they are referring to the dot sequencing as it relates to color identification. If the is the case you can only request to have it done again. A civilian doctor (even having the same test) is not going to influence an outcome. Simply request a retake.

It could have been a misdiagnosis at MEPS. Talk to your recruiter but as I understand it, as long as your are already in-bound through DEP into the Air Force it does not matter. When you go for AFSC I am pretty sure they re-test or you can request it and they will see that you are not color blind at that time. You could go through your recruiter and try to get re-examined at MEPS but honestly it would just be a waste of your time and theirs as your current job does not require it and this is not a condition that bars you from enlistment.

How do you know for sure you do not? You don't need a family history to be colorblind. I would log onto a colorblind test online and double check that before contesting that. Afterwards, you can retake the test at the MEPS
