Sight tests
Part I – Conduct of the tests
The purpose of these tests is to ensure that the candidates eyesight is sufficiently good to enable him to pick up and identify correctly the lights of distant ships at sea. Experience has shown that for this purpose a person must be able to reach certain minimum standards both of form and colour vision.A sight test comprises a letter and a lantern test taken in that order. The tests will be conducted under the strict personal supervision of a Sight Test Examiner who will keep a record of all mistakes made by the candidate both in the letter test and in the lantern test.Every candidate seeking admission to an examination for a first certificate of competency as a deck officer in the Merchant Navy or Fishing fleets must hold a sight test certificate showing that he has passed in both letter and lantern tests within the six month period preceding the date of the examination. For certificates of competency subsequent to the first a sight test certificate fulfilling the conditions in respect of the latter test only will be required.Candidates are cautioned that, when taking the Lantern test, they should not attempt to hurry. They should satisfy themselves as to the colours of the lights shown before reporting them to the examiner. The result of the test can only be judged by what the candidate reports; carelessness may cause failure and thus prevent the candidate from taking up a chosen career at sea.Candidates should be in good health when taking the test otherwise their vision may be impaired.Candidates other than new entrants may take the sight test with or without aids (conventional spectacles or contacts) their option but candidates who opt to use aids for the letter or lantern or both must additionally reach a minimum standard in each eye without aids.1.Letter test(1)(a)The letter test is conducted by means of sheets of letters viewed indirectly at a distance of six metres from the eye. Each sheet contains seven lines, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th lines corresponding to standard 6/24, 6/18, 6/12. 6/9 and 6/6 respectively.(b)Candidates will be tested in each eye separately.(2)Standard of vision required(a)A candidate who opts to take the test without aids will be required to read correctly down to and including line 7 with the better eye and down to and including line 6 with the other eye.(b)A candidate who opts to take the test using aids must first take the test without aids when he will be required to read correctly down to and including line 5 with the better eye and line 3 with the other eye. The candidate will then be tested with aids and will be required to read correctly down to and including line 6 with the other eye.(3)Method of testingThe test sheets and the means of illumination are in accordance with BS 4274-1960 and are placed so that the centre of each sheet as viewed is at the height of eye of the average person in a sitting position. When the candidate is sitting in the correct position one of the sheets will be exposed and he will be asked to read the letters from the left to right beginning at the top and going downwards.If with aids or without aids or in both cases the candidates fails to reach the required standard an additional sheet will be given for each eye in that part or parts of the test in which he has failed.If at the conclusion of the letter test the candidate is considered to have reached the required standard he will then proceed to the lantern test unless he holds a certificate of competency for which a lantern test recognised by the Ministry should have been a condition for its issue.If at the conclusion of the letter test the candidate is considered not to have reached the required standard: the examination will be broken off and may be taken on payment of a further fee after a period of not less than one month and a certificate of failure will be issued.Failure to pass the letter test is due to a defect in vision which is sometimes curable. Whenever, therefore, a candidate fails to pass this test he will be advised to consult an ophthalmologist with a view to ascertaining the nature of the defect and whether it is curable.2.Lantern test(4)The test will be conducted in a room so darkened as to exclude all daylight.(5)Darkness adaptationA candidate who needs darkness adaptation will be kept in a complete or partially darkened room for at least ten minutes.(6)ApparatusThe lantern used for the test is designed to show three colours red, white and green; singly through a large aperture or two at a time, side by side, through small apertures. When the small apertures are used any combination of the three colours may be shown or they may be of same colour. The lantern will be positioned directly in front of a mirror so that the front part of the lantern is exactly 3.05m (10 ft.) from the mirror and the lights as reflected in the mirror shown clearly when viewed by the candidate seated close to the lantern.(7)Method of TestingThe test will commence with a series of lights shown through the large aperture followed by four complete circuits and one broken circuit of lights shown through the small apertures. The candidate will be required to name the colours of the lights as they appear.If the above method of testing is not practicable, other methods should be used and a note to that effect should be made.3.Test results(8)(a)A candidate who, having passed the letter test does not make any mistake in the lantern test, will be deemed to have passed the whole test and the examiner will issue a certificate to that effect.The certificate issued to candidates who pass the test using aids to vision for any part of the test will be endorsed to the effect that such persons should use those aids when on watch and that a spare pair of spectacles should be carried; and in the case of those who pass the test wearing contact lenses either a spare pair of contact lenses or spectacles should be carried.(b)A candidate who mistakes red for green or green for red will be deemed to have failed in the lantern test.(c)The test result of a candidate who mistakes green or red for white or white for red or green will be submitted to Registrar of Ships for a decision as to whether the candidate should be passed, failed or undergo a further test. A candidate awaiting such a decision may be admitted to an examination for a certificate of competency on the express understanding that in the event of failure in the sight test the examination will be cancelled.(d)Candidates will be notified on an appropriate form of their success or failure, or that their case has been referred for consideration.(e)A new entrant who fails the lantern test totally, may be retested after a period of not less than one month.Part II – Qualifications
