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. What provides the major refractive power of the eye?






2. Upward and inward






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






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






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






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






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






8. 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.






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






10. A lens with no power.






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






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






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






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






15. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






16. The light sensitive part of the eye.






17. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






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






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






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






21. Glaucoma causes...






22. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.






23. What lens material is the easiest to break?






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






25. By mouth






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






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






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






29. 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.






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






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






32. Layers in the cornea






33. 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.






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






35. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






36. 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.






37. Right eye (OD)






38. As needed






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






40. The Examination of the inside of the eye.






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






42. 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.






43. At bedtime






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






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






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






47. The two main types of filing systems.






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






49. Drop






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