HEALTH <br />SCIENCES <br />CENTER <br />2001 <br />Optometry Clinics <br />Mr. Thomay <br />Chairman, North Olmsted Civil Service Commission <br />5200 Dover Center Road <br />North Olmsted, OH 44070 <br />Dear Mr. Thomay: <br />338 West Tenth Avenue <br />Columbus, OH 43210-1240 <br />Phone: (614) 292-2020 <br />FAX: (614)688-4960 <br />I am writing this letter at the request of Mr. David Stein, who was examined at The Ohio <br />State University College of Optometry Diagnosis and Management of Ocular Disease <br />Service on June 15, 2001. The reason for this visit was to determine if Mr. Stein meets <br />the color vision criteria specified by the Commission for employment as a firefighter in <br />North Olmsted, OH. <br />The examination revealed vision of 20/20 OD/OS without correction. Color vision <br />testing revealed red -green defect by Pseudoisochromatic Plate series. The D-15 test <br />revealed several major crossing errors that aligned with the Deutan axis. The Farnworth <br />Lantern revealed 7 errors on one run (where one error/per run on two runs indicate a <br />pass). Finally, the Nagel Anomaloscope revealed brightness and color matching that <br />corresponded with a moderate deutanomalous defect (anomalous trichromacy type). <br />My assessment is that Mr. Stein possesses a moderate deutanomalous defect, which <br />meets the specified criteria and should not interfere with his job requirements. <br />I recommend that Mr. Stein be allowed to serve on the North Olmsted firefighters <br />department based on results of testing acquired at this visit. <br />Sincerely, <br />ehL_/_q' <br />Cynthia Green, O.D. <br />Asst.
