4. B. 10-12 seconds
5. C. Less than 5 seconds
6. D. None of the above - ANS-B. Typically flourescein will remain on the cornea for 10-12
seconds before it begins to break-up and dry spots appear. Less than seven seconds is
considered a short break up time and may limit the success of contact lens fitting
7. A patient wearing a high horizontal prismatic correction for a motility problem:
8.
9. A. Will be able to have the same amount of prism added to the contact lens to control
their strabismus
10. B. May experience diplopia when fit with contact lenses
11. C. VAR probably not need any prismatic correction with contact lenses since thy directly
on the eye
12. D. May develop nystagmus with contact lenses unless the prism is added - ANS-B. May
experience diplopia when fit with contact lenses
13. A pre-presbyopic myopic patient who is still able to read with single vision glasses may
find that:
14.
15. A. They are unable to see fine print when fir with contact lenses
16. B. If the vertex distance is reduced, near vision will be clearer
17. C. Monovision is impossible to adapt to
18. D. It is even more difficult to see the computer than to read with contact lenses contain
their distance prescription - ANS-A. They are unable to see fine print when fit with

, 30. B. +8.50
31. C. +9.50
32. D. +11.00 - ANS-C. +9.50
33.
34. Vertex distance must be taken into account when spectacle power is +4.00D
35. An instrument used to evaluate corneal irregularity by reflecting concentric circle from
the patient's cornea is called a:
36.
37. A. Burton lamp
38. B. Con-Ta-Chek
39. C. Topogometer
40. D. Placido disk - ANS-D. Placido disk
41.

Con-Ta-Chek is an attachment to the keratometer that enables one to read the base

52. A. The patient should produce sufficient tears to saturate the paper strip in 3 minutes
53. B. An anesthetic drop is instilled in the eye to eliminate reflex tearing
54. C. Fluorescein must be instilled in the eye to measure tear film
55. D. A patient with an unanesthetized eye and normal tear output should wet at least
15mm of the filter paper in 5 minutes - ANS-D.
56.
57. The Schirmer 1 test is done without anesthesia and a patient with normal tear output
should wet at least 15mm of the strip in 5 minutes.

lens wearer
61. B. An anesthetic drop is instilled before the Schirmer strip is inserted to eliminate the
reflex tearing caused by the filter paper
62. C. A normal reading guarantees that the patient is producing sufficient tears for
successful contact lens wear
