Certified Paraoptometric Exam

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • 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.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Corrects one eye for distance and the other eye for near and can be used to correct presbyopia.






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






3. Provide a bigger field of vision.






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






5. 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.






6. Dilators






7. 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.






8. Upward and inward






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






10. Downward and inward






11. By mouth






12. Constrictors






13. What does a tonometer measure?






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






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






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






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






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






19. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.






20. 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.






21. What are plus lenses used to correct?






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






23. Right eye (OD)






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






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






26. Protected health Information






27. Outward






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






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






30. Drop






31. Inward






32. What are cycloplegic drugs used for?






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






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






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






36. As needed






37. A topical anesthetic.






38. A lens with no power.






39. Every _ Hour






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






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






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






43. 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.






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






45. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






46. Downward and diagonally






47. 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.






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






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






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