Certified Paraoptometric
emmetropia - CORRECT ANSWER-accommodation relaxed, image will focus on
back of retina. no correction needed
myopia - CORRECT ANSWER-Type of ammetropia, image focused on front of
retina and usually caused by eye being too long
accommodation - CORRECT ANSWER-ability of eye to focus objects from
distance to near
plus lens - CORRECT ANSWER-corrects hyperopia
retinoscope - CORRECT ANSWER-indicates pt refractive error when all motion
in every direction is stopped when light is moving across pupil
alternating esotropia - CORRECT ANSWER-condition in which the patient fixates
with only one eye while the other eye turns in
visual field testing - CORRECT ANSWER-determines the area of space visible to
the eye
perimetry - CORRECT ANSWER-used to measure the visual field
biomicroscope - CORRECT ANSWER-instrument that allows close examination
of the lids and lashes
non-compliance - CORRECT ANSWER-the most common reason patients stop
wearing contact lenses
vertex distance between the contact lens and spectacle lens - CORRECT
ANSWER-a contact lens prescription and a spectacle prescription May differ
because of this
Edge thickness of a contact lens - CORRECT ANSWER-is an important factor in
the comfort of the lens

contact lens order includes - CORRECT ANSWER-lens brand or type, base
curve, overall diameter, and the lens power
diastolic pressure - CORRECT ANSWER-the amount of force when the heart is
at rest
astigmatism - CORRECT ANSWER-an eye in which the image is not focused at
one point but rather at two points
hyperopia - CORRECT ANSWER-farsightedness; when the accommodation is
relaxed and the image in the eye focused theoretically behind the eye resulting in
blurry vision
myopia - CORRECT ANSWER-nearsightedness when the accommodation is
relaxed in the image in the eye Focused before the retina resulting in blurry
distant vision
presbyopia - CORRECT ANSWER-loss of ability to see clearly at near
ametropia - CORRECT ANSWER-non specific term that means the patient has a
refractive condition and needs glasses or contacts
dilation - CORRECT ANSWER-in order to get a more complete look of the back
of the eye this is done as part of a complete eye examination
intraocular pressure - CORRECT ANSWER-technical term used for pressure
inside of the eye IOP
tonometry - CORRECT ANSWER-test used to measure the pressure inside of
the eye
Goldmann Tonometer - CORRECT ANSWER-specific instrument used to
measure the pressure of the inside of the eye
systemic diseases - CORRECT ANSWER-conditions that affect the whole body
