All you spoiled guys who got a 4 dat weekend lets play "school" :)

Which is the most common type of refractive error?

2)myopia
3)hyperopia
4)astigmatism

The point on a lens through which a ray of light would pass undeviated is the
1)optical center
2)principal axis
3)primary merridian
4)geometric center

T/F: plus lens increase effective power as vertex distance is increased

T/F: minus lens diverge incident light rays

T/F: minus lens magnify an image

Which distance can be calculated by adding the eyesize and DBL?

1)geometric center distance
2)PD
3)datum length
4)bridge size

T/F: the sphincter muscle in the iris constricts the pupil

T/F: the optic nerve passes through the lacrimal fossa on its way to the brain

the ---- consists mainly of blood vessels
1)cornea
2)choroid
3)crystalline lens
4)scelera

4)mucous

I had to take my mid terms this week!! :) So why should I have all the fun I thought you guys might like to do some questions.. this was just a few of the questions.. all together it was 4 tests and about 200 questions .. the Ocular antomy and physiology test had to be about the hardest one by far...
I'll be happy to post more but I don't want to get to carried away in case some of the students are coming to this site and have NOT completed all the test
Well put on your thinking caps and have at it.. remember this is first semester stuff so you GUYS should know all this..

Laurie if you happen to look through this post and not everyone has taken the test let me know or Steve and he can delete this post :) I wouldn't want someone getting the answers the "easy" way. I just thought some of these guys like to "flex" a little optical muscle as well, work off some of that "turkey and punk'n pie"

This is really interesting, as it helps me compare what you learn with what I learn. So far it seems to be the same!
Do you have to do practicals for your exam, hand neutralizng etc etc?

Hand neutralizing was generally abandoned in this country after the Great War.

I don't know anyone, ever, that has actually needed to hand-neutralise in a real life situation. Because, let's face it, if the power went off, everyone would go to the nearest pub, and it would be marked down as the best ever day at work. But apparently, we need to know it.

Because you never know, the next world war may find us stood in the trenches, juggling a trial case and a long arm cross, stood next to the lab techies who are filing a 70 blank lens down with the scratchy bit of a matchbox. It could happen. Who knows when Fritz will next rise up? But British opticians will be prepared!

Great quiz Jeff. I think that we should do this on a regular basis to help those who are preparing to take the abo and ncle. What does everyone think???
