CERTIFIED PARAOPTOMETRIC COMPLETE
EXAM REVIEW WITH FULL SOLUTIONS
●● myopia
Answer: Type of ammetropia, image focused on front of retina and
usually caused by eye being too long
●● accommodation
Answer: ability of eye to focus objects from distance to near
●● plus lens
Answer: corrects hyperopia
●● retinoscope
Answer: indicates pt refractive error when all motion in every direction
is stopped when light is moving across pupil
●● alternating esotropia
Answer: condition in which the patient fixates with only one eye while
the other eye turns in
●● visual field testing
,Answer: determines the area of space visible to the eye
●● perimetry
Answer: used to measure the visual field
●● biomicroscope
Answer: instrument that allows close examination of the lids and lashes
●● non-compliance
Answer: the most common reason patients stop wearing contact lenses
●● vertex distance between the contact lens and spectacle lens
Answer: a contact lens prescription and a spectacle prescription May
differ because of this
●● Edge thickness of a contact lens
Answer: is an important factor in the comfort of the lens
●● contact lens order includes
Answer: lens brand or type, base curve, overall diameter, and the lens
power
●● diastolic pressure
, Answer: the amount of force when the heart is at rest
●● astigmatism
Answer: an eye in which the image is not focused at one point but rather
at two points
●● hyperopia
Answer: farsightedness; when the accommodation is relaxed and the
image in the eye focused theoretically behind the eye resulting in blurry
vision
●● myopia
Answer: nearsightedness when the accommodation is relaxed in the
image in the eye Focused before the retina resulting in blurry distant
vision
●● presbyopia
Answer: loss of ability to see clearly at near
●● ametropia
Answer: non specific term that means the patient has a refractive
condition and needs glasses or contacts
●● dilation
