1. The smallest unit of lens measure.






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






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






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






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






6. What are plus lenses used to correct?






7. Drop






8. 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.






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






10. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






11. A lens with no power.






12. 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.






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






14. 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.






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






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






17. 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.






18. What are cycloplegic drugs used for?






19. What is the name for the part of the frame that connects the two eyewires?






20. 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.






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






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






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






24. 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.






25. 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.






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






27. Constrictors






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






29. As needed






30. What are used to treat dry eyes?






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






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






33. A topical anesthetic.






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






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






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






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






39. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






40. 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.






41. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.






42. Upward and diagonally






43. The two main types of filing systems.






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






45. Layers in the cornea






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






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






48. Protected health Information






49. Outward






50. Inward
