Practice Questions for ABO
What controls the amt of light entering the eye - Iris
Meniscus, equiconcave and flat concave are types of: - Minus lenses
What is the term used to describe the eye's tendency to turn from its normal
position? - Phoria
What kind of lens has one convex and one concave surface? - Meniscus
What material has the most favorable optical properties? - Crown glass
What is the best lens treatment to reduce water and road surface glare? -
Polarized
The hard resin material used in plastic lenses is known as: - CR-39

The cornea's index of refraction is: - 1.37
Which term is used to describe the outward inclination of the bottom of a framed
lens? - Retroscopic
A monocular PD is given as one number. T or F? - False
You are preparing to block a set of lenses for edging. The frame in the tray
measures 55-16 with ED of 60 and B of 56. The work order specifies the Pd as
63/60 with a vertical height of 31. How do you move the lens on your protractor
grid if the lens is an OS? - a)4mm right, 3mm up
b)3mm left, 4mm up
c)4mm left, 3mm up

,What would be the near only correction for the following Rx?
-10.00 +2.50 X 60
-11.00 +3.00 X 150 Add +2.75 - The answer is in minus cylinder. The question is
in plus cylinder.
(-10.00 +2.50) -2.50 X 60 = -7.50 -2.50 X (60 + 90)(-11.00 +3.00) -3.00 X (150 -
90) = -8.00 -3.00 X 60
In order to find the reading Rx, we add the bifocal add power algebraically to the
sphere powers.
(-7.50 +2.75) -2.50 X 150 = -4.75 -2.50 X 150(-8.00 +2.75) -3.00 X 60 = -5.25
-3.00 X 60
The best method of achieving a uniform sunglass color in a glass lens would be
to use: - d)a vacuum coating
Inducing prism by decentration: - a)can be done on any lens
b)is limited by equipment only
c)is limited by lens size
d)can only be done on a single vision lens
e)is limited by lens size, design, and power
Which of the Seidel aberrations can be caused by too much pantoscopic tilt? -
b)oblique astigmatism
Oblique astigmatism is also called marginal astigmatism, or radial astigmatism,
and is an aberration that occurs when light rays pass through the lens at an
angle. It forms two line images instead of a single point which causes double
vision or blurriness.
The best way to eliminate as much oblique astigmatism as possible is to get the
best base curve for each lens power. This is one of the reasons behind Corrected
Curve Theory. Today's Wave Front technology is a better way of accomplishing
this.
Too much pantoscopic tilt can add oblique astigmatism instead of reduce it. The
OC should be dropped 1mm for each 2° of pantoscopic tilt.
Which tint takes the longest to soak into a plastic lens? - b)blue
What cylinder powers can be off axis by 3° and still pass inspection?
1. Those 0.75 D and under
, 2. Those 1.00 D and under
3. Those 1.25 D and under
4. Those 1.50 D and under
5. Those 1.75 D and under - e)all but 5
The tolerance for axis according to ANSI is 3° for powers of 1.00 D to 1.50 D.
Above 1.50 D it is 2°.
However, everything below 1.00 D can be off 3° as well because they can be off
more than 3°!
If the base curve is +4.00, what could likely be the lens power? - a)-4.00
b)+4.00
c)+2.00
d)+6.00
e)-6.00
An LCM Optyl temple piece: - a)is adjusted the same as any Optyl temple
b)needs high heat for adjustment
c)needs minimal heat for adjustment
d)is completely clear with no metal reinforcements
e)will return to its original shape when reheated
How many degrees can a 1.50 D cylinder be off axis and still pass ANSI? - idk
which of the following frame materials is the lightest? - a)Proprionate
b)Optyl
c)carbon
d)Polymide
e)Cellulose Acetate
Your patient wants trifocals in a frame measuring: A = 52, B = 32, Ed = 53, DBL =
19. You measure his lower pupil margin at 19. What is the seg drop? - a)on line
b)1mm above
c)2mm above
d)3mm above
e)1mm below
The Rx +1.00 -2.00 X 90 is an example of: - a)mixed astigmatism
