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






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






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






4. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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.






11. What is the name for the part of the frame that connects the two eyewires?






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






13. Drop






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

23. A broken blood vessel between the sclera and conjunctiva.






24. What lens material is the easiest to break?






25. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






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






27. At bedtime






28. 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.






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






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






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






32. A topical anesthetic.






33. 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.






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






35. Protected health Information






36. What are used to treat dry eyes?






37. A lens with no power.






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






39. 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.






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






41. 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.






42. 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.






43. By mouth






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






45. 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.






46. The Optothalmic examination of the eye by use of a slit lamp and a magnifying lens.






47. 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?






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






49. Glaucoma causes...
