CPOA-CPOT
absolute scotoma - answer an area in which vision is entirely absent
accommodation - answer the ability of the eye to focus
accommodative reserve - answer the difference between supply and demand in the
crystalline lens
accounts payable - answer money owed by the office
accounts receivable - answer money owed to the office
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) - answer a syndrome of the human
immune system caused by infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
add power - answer refers to the multifocal segments of a lens
alcaine - answer a synthetic topical anesthetic used on the cornea
algerbrush - answera device to remove a rust ring from a corneal foreign body
amblyopia - answerreduced VA with no apparent cause and not correctable by
refractive means
ametropia - answerthe refractive condition that exists when accommodation is relaxed;
parallel light rays entering the eye do not focus on the eye
amplitude of accommodation - answerability of the crystalline lens in the eye to focus
amsler grid - answera test to evaluate the integrity of central vision (macula)
anacel - answerused as a local anesthetic on the cornea
angle of incidence - answerthe angle that is formed by the light ray and the surface of
the medium
angular magnification - answerexpressed as a ratio of the angle subtended by the
image to that subtended by the object with respect to a viewing point of reference
aniseikonia - answera difference in the size of the two retinal images
anisometropia - answeran unequal refractive status of the two eyes
, ankylosing spondylitis - answeran arthritic disease linked to uveitis

3 types:
protanomalous
deuteranomalous
tritanomalous
protanomalous - answerred weakness
deuteranomalous - answergreen weakness
tritanomalous - answerblue-yellow weakness
aphakia - answerabsence of the crystalline lens
aqueous humor - answer-clear fluid produced in the ciliary processes
-fills the space from the posterior cornea to the anterior vitreous
-maintains IOP
-nourishes the cornea, iris, and lens
arcus senilis - answera ringshaped, grayish-white deposit of phospholipid and
cholesterol near the peripheral edge of the cornea
artificial tears - answertopical eye-drops for use in the eye, formulated to relieve the
symptoms of dry eyes
a-scan - answerinstrument that uses sound waves to measure the eyeball length
astigmatism - answeroptical defect in which the light entering the eye doesn't form a
single point focus, but forms two focal points
5 types:
against-the-rule
irregular
lenticular
oblique
with-the-rule
against-the-rule astigmatism - answersteeper in the horizontal meridian
with-the-rule astigmatism - answersteeper in the vertical meridian (like a football lying
