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.

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






12. Constrictors






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






14. The result of the refraction depends on the patient's ability to discern changes in clarity. This process relies on the cooperation of the Patient.






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






16. 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.






17. A test that measures the pressure inside your eye - which is called intraocular pressure.






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






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






20. 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.






21. Every _ Hour






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






23. Glaucoma causes...






24. At bedtime






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






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






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






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






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






30. The nerve center of the eye where light is converted into an electrical signal that travels along the optic nerve to the brain.

32. By mouth






33. Drop






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






35. 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.






36. Surgical removal of the lens - usually replaced with a plastic intraocular lens.






37. A topical anesthetic.






38. What are used to treat dry eyes?






39. The light sensitive part of the eye.

43. What lens material is the easiest to break?






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






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






46. 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.






47. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






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






49. 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.






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