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






18. 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.

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






21. Proparacaine - Tetracaine - Cocaine






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






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






24. 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.






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






26. What are used to treat dry eyes?

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






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






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






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






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






40. The smallest unit of lens measure.






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






42. 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.

44. The lifeline into and out of the practice.






45. Every _ Hour






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






47. The light sensitive part of the eye.






48. 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.






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






50. At bedtime
