13. Upward and diagonally






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






15. 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.

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






18. Protected health Information






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






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

27. 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.






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






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






30. Downward and inward






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






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

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






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.
