SEE MORE THAN A STANDARD COLOR-PLATE SCREENING
Color vision can matter to your career.
Some aviation and safety-sensitive roles require more specific color-vision information than a familiar plate screening provides. The Rabin Cone Contrast Test measures how well each eye distinguishes red, green, and blue contrast at progressively lower levels.
The result is a quantitative report that can support an FAA medical-certification evaluation or an occupational review. The test does not itself grant a medical certificate, determine job eligibility, or guarantee a passing result.
WHO MAY BENEFIT
Pilots and first-time FAA medical applicants who need an approved computerized color-vision screening test
Applicants or professionals in military, law enforcement, fire/rescue, maritime, transportation, electrical, and other color-dependent fields
Patients referred by an AME, physician, recruiter, employer, or occupational-health team
Patients whose optometrist recommends cone-contrast testing for a medically necessary evaluation

WHAT TO EXPECT
1
REQUEST YOUR TIGARD APPOINTMENT
Tell our team that you need the Rabin Cone Contrast Test and whether you were referred by an AME or occupational program. We will confirm your appointment and preparation details.
2
COMPLETE THE TEST IN PERSON
You will identify the orientation of Landolt C symbols while contrast changes. Each eye is tested separately. The test itself takes approximately 90 seconds per eye, although check-in, instructions, retesting when indicated, and report preparation make the full visit longer.
3
RECEIVE YOUR REPORT
We provide a PDF report with the recorded results. With your authorization, it can be shared with your AME or referring professional according to the clinic's release process.
FOR PILOTS AND AME REFERRALS
A CURRENTLY LISTED
FAA TESTING OPTION
Effective January 1, 2025, the FAA requires an approved computer-based color-vision test for applicable pilot examinations. The FAA’s list names the Rabin Cone Test (RCCT) Air Force/Army/Navy/Coast Guard Version, calls for testing each eye separately, and publishes its own current scoring and documentation instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Eye Focus Northwest administers the test and provides results. The FAA and the applicant’s Aviation Medical Examiner determine how results are used in the medical-certification process. Listing of the test by the FAA is not certification or endorsement of Eye Focus Northwest or Mark J. Fast, OD. FAA guidance can change; your AME should rely on the current FAA source.
WHAT TO BRING
Government-issued photo ID
Glasses or contact lenses you normally use, plus any instructions you have received about corrective lenses
Your AME’s name and secure contact or delivery instructions, if you want results sent directly
Any referral form or written requirements from your employer, recruiter, agency, or physician
The fee for pilot and occupational Rabin Cone Contrast Testing is $149. This includes in-person testing and the standard PDF report.
For testing that is medically necessary, Eye Focus Northwest may bill insurance when appropriate. Benefits, authorization requirements, coverage, and patient responsibility vary by plan. Our team can discuss the billing pathway before your visit, but coverage cannot be guaranteed.
Call 971-307-EYES
OCCUPATIONAL COLOR-VISION TESTING
Clear color discrimination can be important wherever signals, wiring, maps, indicators, warning lights, or color-coded materials affect safety. The RCCT provides separate red, green, and blue cone-contrast scores for each eye and may be useful when a referring organization accepts quantitative computerized testing.
Requirements differ among employers, military branches, licensing bodies, and agencies. Confirm that the RCCT and the report format meet your organization’s current requirements before your appointment. Eye Focus Northwest does not decide employment, enlistment, licensing, or fitness-for-duty eligibility.
