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.

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






47. What is the primary function of the inferior rectus muscle?






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






49. A topical anesthetic.






50. 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.
