I don't usually go by FAMACHA because there are so many different shades... I've read that many other goat raisers do basically the same as I do too:
1) Dark pink/red - doesn't need any attention, carry on
2) Lighter/intermediate pink - keep an eye on this one, but doesn't need any treatment (unless you feel it's necessary in a given situation I guess)
3) Very light pink or white - treat that goat!
To even see the correct part of the eye it's a lot easier to press gently on the goat's eye and look at the lower lid (not the pink stuff along the inside of their eyeball, you're looking for the actual LID) but only for a short amount of time.
