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.

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






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






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






5. Ultraviolet Coating protect the eye from damaging...

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






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






9. The light sensitive part of the eye.






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






11. The gel that fills the eye and allows it to maintain its shape. Also serves as a clear pathway for light when it travels from the lens to the retina.






12. What are plus lenses used to correct?






13. The procedure using ultraviolet radiation from a laser to remove tissue.
