17. Transparent covering of the eye that lies between the eyelid and front of the eye.






18. 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.

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






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






25. What lens material is the easiest to break?






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






27. The light sensitive part of the eye.






28. 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.
