Subject: [EXTERNAL] [MCOH-EH] vision testing

Good morning group- We have traditionally only vision/color blind tested our employees working with lasers.  More questions are arising in my organization, that I hope you can help me answer. 

	Do you conduct color blind/vision testing ? [Barb Maxwell] Yes 

	If yes, what populations are tested?[Barb Maxwell]  all employees on pre-hire

	What testing tools do you use? [Barb Maxwell] Ichihara 24 plates

	How often are they tested?[Barb Maxwell]  pre-hire and retest if there are any issues

	Our house wide computerized charting has red and green flag alerts, any thoughts on color blind testing all populations using EMRs? 

Thanks,
