Mere coaching me ek ladka aata tha — Shiva. Wo padhai me strong tha, physical bhi acha tha. Har baar written clear karta tha, lekin medical me baar baar reject ho jata tha.
Reason — color blindness. Use pehle kabhi pata hi nahi tha ki uski color vision weak hai. Ghar pe kisi ne kabhi notice nahi kiya. School me kisi ne test nahi karaya. Bas military medical me pehli baar pata chala — ek rejection letter ke zariye.
Wo har baar bas ek hi line bolta tha — "kaash mujhe pehle pata hota." Do saal ki mehnat, lakhs kharch, aur phir ek medical rejection. Uski aankhon mein wo takleef thi jo alfaz mein nahi aati.
Uski struggle dekh kar mujhe laga ki logon ko pehle hi apni eye condition check kar leni chahiye — medical se pehle, tayari se pehle. Isi liye maine ye Color Blindness Test tool banaya — taaki koi bhi bina check kiye medical tak na pahunch jaye aur iss dard se bach sake.
👁️ Pehle Check Karo — Phir Tayari KaroArmy medical, Ishihara test, types, causes, and what you can do — full explained
Color blindness — iska matlab ye nahi ki aankhen bilkul kaam nahi karti. Iska matlab hai ki aankhon ke andar jo special cells hote hain unhe "cones" kehte hain — wo sahi tarike se colors ko detect nahi kar paate. Humari aankhon mein teen types ke cones hote hain — red, green aur blue ke liye. Jab inme se koi ek ya do types thodi deficient ho jaati hain, toh colors alag dikhai dene lagte hain.
Ye condition mostly genetic hoti hai — matlab janm se hoti hai — aur zyada tar mothers se sons mein transfer hoti hai. India mein approximately 8% male aur sirf 0.5% female candidates color vision deficiency se affected hote hain. Ye kaafi high number hai — matlab har 12 mein se 1 male candidate potentially affected ho sakta hai.
Color blindness ek hi type ki nahi hoti. Kuch main types hain jo aapko jaanni chahiye:
Dr. Shinobu Ishihara — ek Japanese army surgeon — ne 1917 mein ye test design kiya tha. Unka goal tha ki army ke liye ek quick, reliable color vision screening tool ho. 100 saal baad bhi ye test globally use hoti hai — schools, militaries, aviation, railways mein.
Test mein colorful dots ke circles hote hain. Agar aapki color vision normal hai toh aap clearly ek number ya shape dekh sakte hain. Agar deficiency hai toh ya toh number nahi dikhega ya galat number dikhega. Standard version mein 38 plates hoti hain — hmare simulator mein 10 plates hain jo most common types detect karne ke liye enough hain.
Indian Army medical examination mein color perception (CP) ko categories mein rate kiya jaata hai — CP1 se CP4 tak:
Iska matlab ye hai ki agar aap mildly color deficient hain — CP3 level tak — toh aap still army GD, Clerk, aur many other posts ke liye eligible ho sakte hain. Puri tarah color blind (CP4 ke below) candidates ke liye most combat roles closed rehte hain.
Army medical examination mein color vision test Ishihara plates ke through hota hai — exactly jo format hm simulate karte hain. MO (Medical Officer) candidate ko ek room mein proper lighting mein plates dikhata hai. Candidate ko number ya shape identify karni hoti hai within a short time. Failure to identify certain critical plates results in color vision being flagged.
Agar color vision questionable lagti hai toh Farnsworth D-15 ya anomaloscope jaise additional tests bhi ho sakte hain. Final classification CP1-CP4 mein hoti hai jo medical documents mein record ki jaati hai.
Ye ek common question hai — aur answer straightforward hai: genetic color blindness ka koi permanent treatment nahi hai. Jo inherited condition hai wo fix nahi ho sakti currently. Kuch myths hai jaise:
However — acquired color blindness (medicines, disease, diabetes se) kabhi kabhi reversible hoti hai agar underlying cause treat ho jaye.
Sabse pehli baat — panic mat karo. Mild color deficiency wale candidates ke liye bahut saare army posts available hain. Kuch practical steps:
Hmare tool ke alawa, aap ye steps follow kar sakte hain: Screen brightness full rakhein. Natural daylight ya white artificial light mein test karein — colored lights nahi. Glasses ya contacts pehno agar normally use karte ho. Har plate ko 3-5 seconds se zyada mat dekho — first impression sabse honest hota hai. Multiple times retry karke average score dekho.
Yaad rakhein — online test ek screening tool hai, diagnosis nahi. Final confirmation ke liye doctor ke paas jaana zaroori hai especially agar army medical upcoming ho.
