39
What is Amsler grid?
A set of charts with various geometric shapes in black and white, used for detecting defects of the central visual field
40
What is Anisocoria?
Inequality of the diameter of the pupils. Normal if within 1 mm
41
What is Aphakia?
A condition in which part or all of the crystalline lens of the eye is absent (usually due to surgical removal of the lens)
42
What is aqueous humor?
the watery transparent liquid containing trace albumin and small amounts of salts produced by the iris, ciliary body, and cornea.
43
What is astigmatism?
An abnormal condition in which the light rays cannot be focused clearly in a point of the retina, because of an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens
44
What are Cataracts?
opacity of the lens; most commonly resulting from denaturation of the lens proteins caused by aging
45
What is chalazion?
Small, hard tumor analogous to sebaceous cyst deelopin on the eye lids, formed by distention of a meibomian gland with secretion
46
What is a choroid?
The middle vascular tunic of the eye lying between the retina and the sclera.
47
What is a ciliary body?
the thickened part of the vascular tunic of the eye that joins the iris with the anterior portion of the choroid.
48
What are cones (referring to the eye)?
the photosensitive, outward directed conical process of a cone cell essential for sharp vision and color vision.
49
What is confrontation (referring to the eye)?
a test for estimating peripheral vision
50
What is the conjunctiva?
the mucous membrane investing the anterior surface of the eyeball and the posterior surface of the lid
51
What is the cornea?
The clear, transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye comprising about 1/6 of its surface. It is the chief refractory structure of the eye.
52
What is a corneal arcus?
opaque, white ring about corneal periphery, seen in many individuals older than 60 years. This is due to the deposit of lipids in the cornea of to hyaline degeneration
53
What is a cotton-wool spot?
an ill-defined yellow area due to infarction of the nerve layer of the retina.
54
What is diabetic retinopathy (background)?
a condition characterized by dot hemorrhages or micro-aneurysms and the presence of hart and soft exudates?
55
What is diabetic retinopathy (proliferative)?
a condition characterized by development of new vessels as a result of anoxic stimulation; vessles grow out of the retina toward the vitreous humor

Define: miosis
abnormal contraction of pupils
73
Define: mypoia
a condition resulting from a refractive error in which light rays entering the eye are brought into focus in front of the retina
74
Define: papilledema
Edema of the optic disc, resulting in loss of definition of the disc margin; the cause often is increased intracranial pressure
