10. Tropicamide - Atropine - Scopolamine - Phenylephrine






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






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






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






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






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






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

18. 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.






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






20. Provide a bigger field of vision.






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






22. 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.

27. Upward and diagonally






28. 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.






29. As needed






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






31. Outward






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






33. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






34. 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.






35. The two main types of filing systems.






36. Downward and inward






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






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






39. Drop






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






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






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






43. The light sensitive part of the eye.






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






45. A lens with no power.






46. Downward and diagonally






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






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