abrasion - Answer -rubbing off of the superficial layer
accommodation - Answer -adjustment by the eye for seeing different distances, accomplished by
changing the shape of the crystalline lens through action of the ciliary muscle
acuity - Answer -clearness; measured by the smallest object that can seen at a certain distance
adnexa oculi - Answer -accessory structures of the eye, such as lacrimal apparatus and the eye lids
against-the-rule astigmatism - Answer -condition in which the steepest corneal meridian is in the
horizontal plane. An example of keratometer readings for a patient exhibiting this condition would be:
K's 45.00@180/42.00@90
albinism - Answer -hereditary loss of pigment in the eye, skin & hair; usually associated with
lowered visual acuity, nystagmus & light sensitivity
amblyopia - Answer -loss of vision with any apparent disease of the eye
ametropia - Answer -a refractive error in which the eye, when in state of rest, does not focus the
image of an object upon the retina; includes hyperopia,myopia and astigmatism
aniridia - Answer -congenital absence of the iris
aniscoria - Answer -inequality of the pupils in diameter
aniseikonia - Answer -a condition in which the ocular image of an object as seen by one eye differs
so much in size or shape from the seen by the other eye that the two images cannot be fused into a
single impression
anomaly - Answer -departure from the normal
anopthalmia - Answer -absence of a true eyeball
anterior - Answer -nearer the front, especially situated in the front of the body or nearer to the
head
, anterior chamber - Answer -space in front of the eye, bounded in front by the cornea and behind
by the iris; filled with aqueous humor
antibody - Answer -a specific substance produced by the body in the presence of an antigen
antigen - Answer -any substance that acts against the action of histamine
aphakia - Answer -absence of the crystalline lens of the eye
aqueous humor - Answer -clear, watery fluid that fills the anterior and posterior chambers within
the front part of the eye
arcus senilus - Answer -grayish white ring in the periphery of the cornea
asthenopia - Answer -eye fatigue caused by tiring of the internal and/or external muscles
astigmatism - Answer -a refractive error that prevents light rays from coming to a single focus on
the retina because of different degrees of refraction in the various meridians of the eye
atrophy - Answer -wasting or decrease of tissue due to faulty nutrition or loss of verve supply
back vertex power (BVP) - Answer -when neutralizing a lens, the concave or the posterior side of
the lens in placed against the aperture of the lensometer
base curve - Answer -refers to the radius of curvature of the central posterior surface of the lens. It
may be expressed in diopters of surface power (D) or in millimeters (mm) of radius or curvature.
bedewing (Cornea) - Answer -an edematous condition of the epithelium of the cornea
characterized by irregular reflecting from a multitude of droplets when the cornea is viewed with the slit
lamp
biconcave lens - Answer -lens having a concave surface on both faces
biconvex lens - Answer -lens having a convex surface on both faces
binocular vision - Answer -ability to use the two eyes simultaneously to focus on the same object
and to fuse the two images into a single image that gives a correct interpretation of its solidity and its
position in space
blend curve - Answer -the treatment given to the sharp junctions created by the difference in the
radii of curvature between the base curve, the secondary curve, and the peripheral curve, rarely
required at the base curve/secondary curve junction.
blepharitis - Answer -inflammation of the margins of the eyelids
blepharoconjunctivitis - Answer -inflammation of the eyelids and conjunctiva
blepharoplasty - Answer -plastic surgery of the eyelid
blepharoptisis - Answer -drooping of the upper eyelid
