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






3. A topical anesthetic.






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






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






6. 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.






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






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






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






10. 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.






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






12. 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.






13. 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.






14. 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.






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






16. Is a clouding of the eye's lens and is the leading cause of blindness.






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

42. What lens material is the easiest to break?






43. What does a tonometer measure?






44. A lens with no power.






45. The smallest unit of lens measure.






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






47. Upward and inward






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






49. Outward






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