1. A topical anesthetic.






2. Which type of lens will have the same power in all areas of the lens?






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






4. 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.






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






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






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






8. Downward and inward






9. A complication of diabetes - progressive damage to the blood vessels of the retina.






10. 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.






11. 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.






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






13. Drop






14. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






15. A lens with no power.






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






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






18. Downward and diagonally






19. The smallest unit of lens measure.






20. Swelling or infection of the membrane lining the eyelids or Conjunctiva.






21. Upward and inward






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






23. 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.






24. Layers in the cornea






25. At bedtime






26. The Examination of the inside of the eye.






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






28. The chart most often used to measure acuity at distance.






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






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






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






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






33. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






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






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






36. 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.






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






38. What does a tonometer measure?






39. A test that allows a doctor to see inside the back of the eye and other structures using a magnifying instrument and a light source.






40. An ophthalmic stain - available in liquid form and is the most commonly used ophthlmic dye.






41. When water is retained and swelling occurs in the cornea.






42. Right eye (OD)






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






44. A group of diseases that can damage the eye's optic nerve and result in the vision loss and blindness. It occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises.






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






46. Upward and diagonally






47. What's it called when the cornea thins and bulges forward?






48. A broken blood vessel between the sclera and conjunctiva.






49. Outward






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