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






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






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






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






6. When the vision in one of the eyes is reduced because the eye and the brain aren't working together properly. The eye itself may look normal - but it's not being used normally because the brain is favoring the other eye.






7. Protected health Information






8. What does a tonometer measure?






9. Constrictors






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

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






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






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






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






16. At bedtime






17. 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.

19. 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.






20. 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.

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






37. 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.

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






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

44. The measure of the finest detail the eye may detect.






45. 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.






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