ABO PRACTICE TEST 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
●● Multifocal.
Answer: Corrects with two or more prescriptions (or 'powers')
●● Bifocal.
Answer: lens having two focus strengths
●● Trifocal.
Answer: pertaining to having three focus strengths
●● Calculating Prismatic Effects.
Answer: obtained at the center of an optical lens by producing a
difference in edge thickness, either by grinding the back surface at an
angle to the front surface during lens surfacing or, if the lens has
sufficient power, de-centering the optical center of the lens
●● Compounding Prism.
Answer: BI & BI
BO & BO

●● Cancelling Prism.
Answer: BI & BO
BD & BD
BU & BU
●● Prentice's Rule.
Answer: P=hcm x D
P=amount of prism created
h= number of cm OC moved
cm= centimeters (convert to mm, divide by 10)
D= power in meridian with error
●● Vertical Imbalance.
Answer: The difference in vertical prism power at the reading level in a
pair of lenses.
●● OC Height's by lens.
Answer: SV = 1/2 of B
Progressive = Fitting cross
FT = 5mm above segment
, ●● Vertex Compensation.
Answer: A plus lens when moved farther from the eye gains in plus
power
Distance is 0 with CL because they are on the eye
●● Vertex compensation Formula.
Answer: De= Dl/(1 + d xDl)
De= diopter effective value of error created
D/= lens power (given power)
d= amount in METERS lens moved from refracted position to position
lens is worn
Keep sign for what it is (+/-)
- to d means moves away
●● Horizontal Centration.
Answer: PD
●● Vertical Centration.
Answer: OC
●● Horizontal & Vertical Centration Formula.
Answer: Given PD/OC - Human PD/OC= mm moved
