Been forever (like 40+yrs) since I took the test. Don't remember any of this on the test. As to importance, they are totally unimportant except when fitting true molded to the eye scleral lenses where veinous impingment can be a real problem..

Important to know, yes everything about the trade is important to know. On the test, NO NO NO.

All Optical knowledge falls into three (3) categories!!
MUST KNOW...SHOULD KNOW...NICE TO KNOW You choose what category these details fall within. P.S. There might be a fourth (4th) category ...WHO THE HELL CARES!
