The good Dr. Miller just returned my call. He does NOT have the Farnsworth lantern test. He has the FAA approve Ishihara plates, but I think he described it as an illuminated version.
Also, The good Dr. Keidel sent a follow up email basically saying to broaden our search to non AME eye doctors. I will paste his suggestion below:
Quote:
If you find an optometrist or ophthalmologist who does it and can fill out the FAA report of eye exam then most AMEs will accept that and don't actually own the equipment.
Acceptable substitutes [to the Ishihara plates and similar] are:
Farnsworth Lantern;
OPTEC 900 Color Vision Test;
Keystone Orthoscope;
Keystone Telebinocular;
OPTEC 2000 Vision Tester (Models 2000 PM, 2000 PAME, 2000 PI) -Tester MUST contain 2000-010 FAR color perception PIP plate to be approved; OPTEC 2500;
Titmus Vision Tester;
Titmus i400.

I will have to Google for the similarity of these other tests to the FALANT.
