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.

2. 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.






3. 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.






4. What are plus lenses used to correct?






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






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






7. Upward and diagonally






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






9. 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.






10. The Examination of the inside of the eye.






11. At bedtime






12. 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.






13. The light sensitive part of the eye.






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






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






16. Downward and diagonally






17. Dilators






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






19. Right eye (OD)






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






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






22. As needed






23. Constrictors






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






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






26. Glaucoma causes...






27. What are used to treat dry eyes?






28. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






29. 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?






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. Protected health Information






32. By mouth






33. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






39. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






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






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






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






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






44. Layers in the cornea






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






46. Upward and inward






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






48. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.






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






50. 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.
