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






2. The smallest unit of lens measure.






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






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






5. Provide a bigger field of vision.






6. The light sensitive part of the eye.






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






8. What lens material is the easiest to break?






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






10. What does a tonometer measure?






11. The two main types of filing systems.






12. Upward and diagonally






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






14. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






15. A lens with no power.






16. Protected health Information






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






18. 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.






19. Constrictors






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






21. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






22. Inward






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






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






25. Upward and inward






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






27. 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.






28. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






29. Right eye (OD)






30. 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.






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. 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.






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






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

35. Glaucoma causes...






36. Layers in the cornea






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






38. Downward and inward






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






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






41. What are used to treat dry eyes?






42. If a patient claims to have pain in the ye but does not have any other symptoms - when do you schedule them for an appointment?






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. 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.






50. A paralysis of the ciliary muscle - so accommodation can't occur.
