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.

1. A lens with no power.






2. Downward and inward






3. Constrictors






4. What lens material is the easiest to break?






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






6. A jelly-like subastance located in the anterior chamber.






7. A topical anesthetic.






8. 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.






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






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






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






12. Downward and diagonally






13. Dilators






14. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






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






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






17. 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.






18. The smallest unit of lens measure.






19. 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.






20. At bedtime






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






22. What does a tonometer measure?






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






24. The distance between the center of the pupil of each eye.






25. Upward and inward






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






27. Inward






28. 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.






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






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






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






33. 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.






34. The creation of a photograph of the interior surface of the eye.






35. A layer located behind the retina and absorbs unused radiation.






36. Upward and diagonally






37. Outward






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






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






40. Right eye (OD)






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






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

47. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






48. By mouth






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






50. 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.
