Certified Paraoptometric Exam

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Right eye (OD)






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






3. What does a tonometer measure?






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






5. What are cycloplegic drugs used for?






6. Provide a bigger field of vision.






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






8. Downward and diagonally






9. Inward






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






11. 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.






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






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






14. Upward and inward






15. 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.






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






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






18. An ophthalmic stain - available in liquid form and is the most commonly used ophthlmic dye.






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






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






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






22. Constrictors






23. Provides nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.






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






25. Drop






26. A topical anesthetic.






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






28. What are used to treat dry eyes?






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






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






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






32. The light sensitive part of the eye.






33. 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.






34. A jelly-like subastance located in the anterior chamber.






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






36. Supplies most of the tears to the eye.






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






38. Upward and diagonally






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






40. 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.






41. 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.






42. The Examination of the inside of the eye.






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

44. 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.






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






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






47. What are plus lenses used to correct?






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






49. What lens material is the easiest to break?






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