is too-
a. small
b. large
c. steep
d. flat: c. steep

,flourescein inferiorly and superiorly under the lens. Which one of the following type of astigmatism is represented by
this
pattern?

the rotational marks should settle at
.
a. 6 o clock
b. 10 clockwise rotation
c. 10 counter clockwise rotation
d. none of the above: b. 10 clockwise rotation
10. An instrument that allows simultaneous verification of lens diameter, optic zone width, and peripheral curve
width is:
a. measuring magnifier
b. ophthalmometer
c. profile analyzer
d. radiuscope: a. measuring magnifier (the book says d.
