11. Its purpose: Improve the portability and continuity of health insurance overage - improve access to long-term care services and coverage - to simplify administrative care.






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






13. Downward and inward






14. Involves an imbalance in the positionig of the two eyes. I can cause the eys to cross in or tuyrn out. It's cause by a lack of coordination between the eyes.






15. At bedtime






16. Upward and diagonally






17. 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.






18. Computer-assisted method of mapping the surface curvature of the cornea.






19. 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.






20. Downward and diagonally






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






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






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






24. Refers to imaging by section or sectioning - through the use of any kind of penetrating wave.






25. What are cycloplegic drugs used for?






26. 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.






27. Dilators






28. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






29. What is the frame height - the most vertical dimension of the lens opening also known as?

41. Inward






42. Layers in the cornea






43. What lens material is the easiest to break?






44. The instrument that contains lenses and can be used to determine a spectacle correction.






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






46. Measurement of the form and curvature of the cornea.






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






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






49. The interior portion of the eyeball that may be seen on ophthalmoscopy.






50. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.
