ABO EXAM (QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS) 2024 The extra-ocular muscles are inserted into the sclera and serve to rotate the eye in all possible directions. There are _______of these muscles. - CORRECT ANSWER-Six The fibrous tunic is comprised of the: - CORRECT ANSWER-Sclera and cornea Fusion occurs: - CORRECT ANSWER-In the brain The aqueous fluid is continually being manufactured by: - CORRECT ANSWER-The ciliary body The ability of the eye to bring objects of varying distances to focus on the retina is known as: - CORRECT ANSWER-Accommodation When accommodation is at rest, rays of light from a distant source come to focus behind the retina. This condition is known as: - CORRECT ANSWER-Hyperopia Impulses are carried from the retina to the brain along the: - CORRECT ANSWER-Optic nerve That area of the retina capable of perceiving the greatest amount of detail is: - CORRECT ANSWER-Fovea centralis The average cornea has a refractive power of approximately: - CORRECT ANSWER-43 diopters The layer of the cornea which is highly regenerative is: - CORRECT ANSWER-The epithelium Night vision is chiefly a function of the: - CORRECT ANSWER-Rods A tendency of the visual axis to deviate inward while the eyes are in a position of rest is known as: - CORRECT ANSWER-Esophoria A "farsighted" eye is one that is: - CORRECT ANSWER-Hyperopic The term used to indicate "double vision" is: - CORRECT ANSWER-Diplopia The condition in which the ability to accommodate for near vision becomes inadequate because of loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens is called: - CORRECT ANSWERPresbyopia When there is a loss of vision without any apparent disease of the eye it is known as: - CORRECT ANSWER-Amblyopia A refractive error in which the rays of light do not come to a single point of focus is called: - CORRECT 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: - CORRECT ANSWER-Cataract An ocular disease having as its primary characteristic a sustained increase in intraocular pressure. - CORRECT ANSWER-Glaucoma The space between the front of the iris and the innermost portion of the cornea (the endothelium), this space is filled with aqueous. - CORRECT ANSWER-Anterior chamber A tendency of one eye to deviate upward is: - CORRECT ANSWER-Hyperphoria The layer of the cornea which comprises ninety percent of its thickness is: - CORRECT 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 hyperopic) is known as: - CORRECT ANSWER-Anisometropia The refractive error which results in two points of focus falling behind the retina is: - CORRECT 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: - CORRECT ANSWER-Irregular astigmatism The index of refraction of the crystalline lens is: - CORRECT ANSWER-1.42 The index of refraction of the cornea is: - CORRECT ANSWER-1.37 Myopia means the eye A. is nearsighted B. has distance blur C. requires a (-) minus lens D. all of the above - CORRECT ANSWER-D. all of the above The Retina contains A. lab tools B. lens information C. light receptors D. understock of frames - CORRECT ANSWER-C. light receptors Hyperopic people have difficulty seeing A. distance objects B. near objects C. everything D. nothing - CORRECT ANSWER-B. near objects How many ranges of vision do bifocals provide?
