8. Constrictors






9. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






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






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






12. 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.






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






14. Layers in the cornea






15. 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.






16. Drop






17. 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.

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






31. Upward and diagonally






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






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






34. What are plus lenses used to correct?






35. 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.






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






37. What is the frame height - the most vertical dimension of the lens opening also known as?
