  • 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 jelly-like subastance located in the anterior chamber.






2. 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.






3. Constrictors






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






5. 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.






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






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






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






9. What lens material is the easiest to break?






10. Back vertex power which includes sphere and cylinder power.






11. Diabetic patients may have vision loss due to...






12. Layers in the cornea






13. A lens with no power.






14. By mouth






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






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






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






18. 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.






19. Protected health Information






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






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

22. Laser-based - non contact - noon invasive imaging technique.






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






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






25. What are used to treat dry eyes?






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






27. 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.






28. Upward and diagonally






29. Right eye (OD)






30. The two main types of filing systems.






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






32. 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.






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






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






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






36. Provide a bigger field of vision.






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






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






39. 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.






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






41. The light sensitive part of the eye.






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






43. Dilators






44. 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.






45. Inward






46. What does a tonometer measure?






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






48. Downward and inward






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






50. At bedtime
