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






17. 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.






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






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






20. 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.
