17
Q

it is a form of strabismus in which one eye turns outward, toward the temple. Symptoms of exotropiausually begin between the ages of 1 and 6 years.

A

Exotropiais commonly called walleye,

18
Q

it is a form of strabismus in which one eye turns upward, toward the eyebrow. It is a far less common form of strabismus.

A

Hypertropiais also called vertical deviation

19
Q

Also referred to as error of refraction, exist when light rays fail to focus sharply on the retina.

A

Ametropia

20
Q

eyeball is too short and image falls behind the retina

A

Hyperopia or Hypermetropia

Farsightedness

21
Q

Form of farsightedness associated with aging. Occurs between ages 40-45.

A

Presbyopia

22
Q

eyeball is too long and the image falls in front of the retina.

A

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

23
Q

the cornea or lense has a defective curvature that causes light rays to diffuse rather than focused.

A

Astigmatism (Ast) (Nearsightedness)

24
Q

Usually compensate for various types of ammetropia.

A

Corrective Lenses

25
Q

Procedure that changes the shpae of the cornea. Mostly permanent.

A

Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis surgery (LASIK)

26
Q

Opacities that form on the lens and impair vision,

commonly produced by protein build up.

A

Cataracts

27
Q

Caused by congenital defects or maternal rubella during the first trimester. (Rubella –measles)

A

Congenital Cataracts

28
Q

Small incision cataract surgery (SICS) –cataract is broken into very small particles .

A

Phacoemulsification

29
Q

Caused by intraocular pressure (IOP) the increase pressure destroys the optic nerve and vision is permanently lost.

A

Glaucoma

30
Q

Screening test usually measures intraocular pressure.

A

Tonometry

31
Q

Deterioration of the Macula. Macula is responsible for reading, driving, detail work and recognizing faces.

A

Macular Degeneration

32
Q

Most common type and the leading cause of vision loss.

A

Age related Macular degeneration (ARMD)

33
Q

Less common but more severe, blood and other fluids leaks and destroy the visual cells.

A

Wet neovascular ARMD

34
Q

Most common form, small yellowish deposits called Drusen (dried retinal pigment) develop and interfere

A

Dry ARMD

35
Q

Temporary procedure that can destroy new forming vessels in the Macula.

A

Laser Photocoagulation

36
Q

Also referred to as Pink Eye, inflammation of the conjunctiva, caused by an infection or allergic reaction.

A

Conjunctivitis

37
Q

Fungal infection of the eye or its parts.

A

Oculomycosis

38
Q

Herniation of the lens into the interior chamber of the eye.

A

Phacocele

39
Q

Results from a change in melanin in one eye, specifically the color of the irises, determined by the concentration and distribution of melanin.

A

Heterochromia Iridium

40
Q

The affected eye may be hyperpigmented (hyperchromic) or hypopigmented (hypochromic).

A

Heterochromia Iridium

41
Q

Abnormal fear of (intolerance to) light

A

Photophobia

42
Q

Specialist in the study of the eye.

A

Ophthalmologist
