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. A broken blood vessel between the sclera and conjunctiva.






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






3. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






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






5. Every _ Hour






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






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






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






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






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






11. What are plus lenses used to correct?






12. Dilators






13. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. Upward and diagonally






21. 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.






22. 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.






23. The Examination of the inside of the eye.






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






25. 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.






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






27. 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.






28. Protected health Information

32. Outward






33. The two main types of filing systems.






34. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






40. 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.






41. By mouth






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






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






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

47. Inward






48. The smallest unit of lens measure.






49. 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.






50. Constrictors
