Certified Paraoptometric Exam

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The light sensitive part of the eye.






2. Back vertex power which includes sphere and cylinder power.






3. The measure of the finest detail the eye may detect.






4. What is the primary function of the inferior rectus muscle?






5. An ophthalmic stain - available in liquid form and is the most commonly used ophthlmic dye.






6. A complication of diabetes - progressive damage to the blood vessels of the retina.






7. A group of diseases that can damage the eye's optic nerve and result in the vision loss and blindness. It occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises.






8. Downward and diagonally






9. Is a clouding of the eye's lens and is the leading cause of blindness.






10. A method of determining the state of refraction of the eye by illumination the retina with a mirror and observing the direction of movement of the retinal illumination and adjacent shadow when the mirror is turned.






11. Upward and inward






12. Located behind the pupil - and is the secondary mechanism of focus - adjusting the amount of focus the light image requires before it reaches the retina.






13. Associated with aging and results in damaging sharp and central vision.






14. Which type of lens will have the same power in all areas of the lens?






15. What is the name for the part of the frame that connects the two eyewires?






16. A topical anesthetic.






17. The entire area that can be seen when the eye is directed forward including that which is seen with peripheral vision.






18. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






19. When the vision in one of the eyes is reduced because the eye and the brain aren't working together properly. The eye itself may look normal - but it's not being used normally because the brain is favoring the other eye.






20. The Examination of the inside of the eye.






21. This is the pathway between the ye and the brain along which the signals produced by the retina travel to the brain.






22. A broken blood vessel between the sclera and conjunctiva.






23. The Optothalmic examination of the eye by use of a slit lamp and a magnifying lens.






24. Corrects one eye for distance and the other eye for near and can be used to correct presbyopia.






25. If a patient claims to have pain in the ye but does not have any other symptoms - when do you schedule them for an appointment?






26. The chart most often used to measure acuity at distance.






27. The system for sorting and assigning priorities for medical treatment based on the urgency of the systems.






28. The part of the retina responsible for sharp - clear vision.






29. Numerous different surgeries that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower the intraocular pressure and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of aqueous humor.






30. A mid-index lens material that is thinner than glass or CR-39 - free from distortion and aberration and able to be used as a safety lens.






31. Drop






32. The distance from the back surface of the lens to the front of the eye.






33. One type of contact lens is applied after waking and removed before going to sleep.






34. What does a tonometer measure?






35. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






36. What lens material is the easiest to break?






37. Upward and diagonally






38. Controls the focusing power of the eye by changing the shape of the lens.






39. Dilators






40. Right eye (OD)






41. Increases visual acuity because it reduces internal lens reflections.






42. Laser-based - non contact - noon invasive imaging technique.






43. Provide a bigger field of vision.






44. What provides the major refractive power of the eye?






45. A paralysis of the ciliary muscle - so accommodation can't occur.






46. Two instruments are used to test patient blood pressure.






47. The portion of the optic nerve that is formed by the meeting of all retinal nerve fibers.






48. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






49. Inward






50. The ability to maintain visual focus on an object with both eyes creating a single visual image.
