the index of refraction of the crystalline lens is: -ANSWER- 1.42
the cornea has an index of refraction of: -ANSWER- 1.37
the extra-ocular muscles are inserted into the sclera and serve to rotate the eye in all
possible directions. There are _______________ of these muscles in each eye. -
ANSWER- 6

fusion occurs: -ANSWER- in the brain
the aqueous fluid is continually being manufactured by: -ANSWER- the ciliary body
the ability of the eye to bring objects if varying distances to focus on the retina is known
as: -ANSWER- accommodation
when accommodation is at rest, rays of light from a distant source come to focus in front
of the retina. this condition is known as: -ANSWER- myopia
when accommodation is at rest, rays of light from a distant source come to focus behind
the retina. this condition is known as: -ANSWER- hyperopia
impulses are carried from the retina to the brain along the: -ANSWER- optic nerve
while reading, or performing other near vision tasks: -ANSWER- the pupils constrict,
the eyes converge, & the crystalline lens accommodates
that area of the retina capable if perceiving the greatest amount of details is: -
ANSWER- forvea centralis
the average cornea has a refractive power of approximately: -ANSWER- 43 diopters
that layer if the cornea which is highly regenerative is: -ANSWER- the epithelium
Night vision is chiefly a function of the: -ANSWER- rods
,A tendency of the visual axis to deviate inward when the eyes are in a position of the
rest is known as: -ANSWER- esophoria
A "farsighted" eye is one that is: -ANSWER- hyperopic
The term used to indicate "double vision" is: -ANSWER- diplopia
The condition in which the ability to accommodate for near vision ecomes inadequate
because of loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens is called: -ANSWER- presbyopia
When there is loss of vision without any apparent disease of the eye, it is known as: -
ANSWER- amblyopia
A refractive error in which the rays of light do not come to a single point of focus is
called: -ANSWER- astigmatism
The condition in which the crystalline lens of the eye gradually loses its transparency
with consequent loss of visual acuity is known as: -ANSWER- cataract
An ocular disease as its primary characteristic a sustained increase in intraocular
pressure. -ANSWER- glaucoma
The space between the back of the iris and the front of the lens which is filled with
aqueous is the: -ANSWER- posterior chamber
A tendency of one eye to deviate upward is: -ANSWER- hyperphoria
The photosensitive receptors of the retina which are responsible for sharp visual acuity
and color perception are the: -ANSWER- cones
The layer of the cornea which comprises ninety percent of its thickness is: -ANSWER-
the stroma
A condition in which the refractive error of one eye significantly differs from that of the
other and where both eyes have the same sign (i.e. both eyes are myopic or myperopic)
is known as: -ANSWER- anisometropia
The refractive error which results in two points of focus falling behind the retina is: -
ANSWER- compound hyperopic astigmatism
The refractive condition caused by a damaged cornea so that rays of light come to
many focal points on the retina is known as: -ANSWER- irregular astigmatism
When the optical centers of a pair of plus lenses are positioned narrower than the PD, it

,When the optical centers of a pair of minus lenses are positioned narrower than the PD,
it produces prism base... -ANSWER- OUT
When a patient looks through a plus lens above the optical center, it produces prism
base... -ANSWER- DOWN
When a patient looks through a minus lens below the optical center, it produces prism
base... -ANSWER- DOWN
How much prism is induced 5 mm away from the optical center of a +2.00 diopter lens?
-ANSWER- 1.0
How much prism is induced 10 mm away from the optical center of a -0.25 diopter lens?
-ANSWER- 0.25

lens? -ANSWER- 3.2
came in with the optical centers positioned 61 mm apart. The work order indicates the
patient's PD measures 64 mm and the prescription calls fro a -3.00 spheres in each
eye. How much total prism is induced and in which direction is the base? -ANSWER-
0.9 BASE OUT
A patient's prescription calls for OD: +4.75 OS: +2.50. The optical centers of the finished
spectacles are found to be positioned 4 mm too wide. How much total prism is induced
and in which direction is the base? -ANSWER- 1.45 BASE OUT
