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






2. By mouth

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






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






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






12. The two main types of filing systems.






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






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






15. Which type of lens will have the same power in all areas of the lens?






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






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






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






19. 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.






20. Upward and diagonally






21. Provide a bigger field of vision.






22. What are used to treat dry eyes?






23. This is the pathway between the ye and the brain along which the signals produced by the retina travel to the brain.






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






25. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






26. 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.






27. What is the primary function of the inferior rectus muscle?






28. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






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






30. 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.






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






32. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






33. 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.






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






35. As needed






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






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






38. Swelling or infection of the membrane lining the eyelids or Conjunctiva.






39. Every _ Hour






40. At bedtime






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






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






43. 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.






44. 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.






45. A lens with no power.






46. Downward and diagonally






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






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






49. Upward and inward






50. 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.
