This disclosure comprises excerpts from the Defence Health Manual detailing ADF medical entry requirements for colour vision and visual acuity. The documents outline preliminary medical examination procedures, including testing protocols for colour perception deficiencies using three standardised tests: Ishihara Pseudoisochromatic Plates (PIP), Konan Cone Contrast Test High Definition (CCT-HD), and Farnsworth D15. The manual establishes four colour perception classifications (CP1 through CP3, with CP2A for Army and Air Force only) based on test results, with specific pass/fail thresholds detailed. Near vision standards are specified for special forces, clearance diving candidates, and aviation-related occupations. Substantial portions of the document are redacted under exemptions s22 and s47E(d), limiting visibility of full medical requirements and specific testing procedures.
