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






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






3. 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.






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






5. The light sensitive part of the eye.






6. 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.






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






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






9. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.






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






11. 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.






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






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






14. Layers in the cornea






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






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






17. Upward and inward






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






19. As needed






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






21. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






22. What lens material is the easiest to break?






23. Constrictors






24. Downward and diagonally






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






26. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






27. If a patient claims to have pain in the ye but does not have any other symptoms - when do you schedule them for an appointment?






28. 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.






29. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






30. Dilators






31. 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.






32. Inward






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






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

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






36. What are cycloplegic drugs used for?






37. 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.






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






39. At bedtime






40. 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.






41. 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.






42. A lens with no power.






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






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






45. The two main types of filing systems.






46. What are used to treat dry eyes?






47. 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.






48. 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.






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






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