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.

1. 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.






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






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






4. 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.






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






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






7. What are cycloplegic drugs used for?






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






9. 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.






10. What are plus lenses used to correct?






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






12. The light sensitive part of the eye.






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






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






15. 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.






16. 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.






17. Upward and inward






18. Inward






19. Right eye (OD)






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






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






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






23. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






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

25. A topical anesthetic.






26. Constrictors






27. By mouth






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






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






30. Downward and diagonally






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






32. Layers in the cornea






33. What's it called when the cornea thins and bulges forward?






34. As needed






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






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






37. A lens with no power.






38. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






39. Every _ Hour






40. Dilators






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






42. What lens material is the easiest to break?






43. Outward






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






45. What are used to treat dry eyes?






46. 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.






47. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.






48. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






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






50. The smallest unit of lens measure.
