ABO Domain 1: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics Welcome to your ABO Domain 1: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics 1. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics What is the primary optical characteristic that differentiates a myopic eye from an emmetropic eye? A. The myopic eye has a shorter axial length than the emmetropic eye. B. The myopic eye focuses light rays in front of the retina. C. The myopic eye focuses light rays directly on the retina without accommodation. D. The myopic eye has a corneal curvature that is flatter than that of the emmetropic eye. None 2. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics In ophthalmic optics, what is the effect of increasing the base curve of a lens on its optical power? A. It decreases the lens's optical power. B. It increases the lens's optical power. C. It has no effect on the lens's optical power. D. It changes the lens's optical power depending on the lens material. None 3. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics What principle explains the reduction in effective power of a plus lens when it is moved away from the eye? A. Prentice's Rule B. Snell's Law C. The Lensmaker's Equation D. The Effective Focal Length (EFL) Principle None 4. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics How does the Abbe value of an ophthalmic lens material affect its optical performance? A. Higher Abbe values result in greater chromatic aberration. B. Lower Abbe values result in less distortion. C. Higher Abbe values result in less chromatic aberration. D. Lower Abbe values increase the refractive index. None 5. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics What is the impact of vertex distance changes on the effective power of a high-minus lens? A. Increasing the vertex distance decreases the effective power. B. Decreasing the vertex distance increases the effective power. C. Increasing the vertex distance increases the effective power. D. Changes in vertex distance have no impact on the effective power of high-minus lenses. None 6. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics In terms of lens coatings, what is the primary purpose of applying an anti-reflective (AR) coating to ophthalmic lenses? A. To increase the transmission of light through the lens B. To protect the lens surface from scratches C. To reduce lens weight D. To enhance the cosmetic appearance of the lens None 7. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics What is the significance of the "index of refraction" in selecting ophthalmic lens materials for patients with high refractive errors? A. A higher index of refraction allows for thinner, lighter lenses for a given prescription. B. A lower index of refraction provides better UV protection. C. A higher index of refraction indicates more durable lens materials. D. A lower index of refraction results in less chromatic aberration. None 8. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics How does astigmatism primarily affect the quality of the retinal image? A. By creating multiple focal points within the eye B. By reducing the overall brightness of the image C. By causing a uniform blurring across the entire image D. By increasing the contrast of the retinal image None 9. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics What effect does the use of aspheric lens designs have on peripheral lens distortion in spectacles? A. It increases peripheral distortion for improved field of view. B. It has no effect on peripheral distortion but reduces lens weight. C. It reduces peripheral distortion for a wider, clear field of view. D. It enhances peripheral distortion to increase magnification. None 10. ABO: Ametropia/Ophthalmic Optics In bifocal lenses, what is the purpose of the "add power"? A.
