  • 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.

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






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






9. Downward and diagonally






10. 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.






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






12. The distance from the back surface of the lens to the front of the eye.

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






16. Upward and diagonally






17. What lens material is the easiest to break?






18. Right eye (OD)






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


20. Dilators






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






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






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






24. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






25. The smallest unit of lens measure.






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






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






28. Layers in the cornea






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






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






31. 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.






32. Inward






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






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






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. 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.






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






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






39. Laser-based - non contact - noon invasive imaging technique.






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






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






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






43. 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.






44. The Examination of the inside of the eye.






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






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






47. As needed
