Answer 3

Loss of hearing power

Question 4

Near response

Answer 4

Process by which eye brings diverging rays from a near object to focus on camera

Question 5

Myopia

Answer 5

Refractive condition in which parallel rays come to a point IN FRONT of the retina while accomodation is at rest

Question 6

Hypermetropia

Answer 6

Refractive condition where parallel rays come to a point BEHIND retina
While accomodation is filly relaxed

Question 7

Presbyopia

Answer 7

Gradual decrease of accommodation with aging
Near point recedes away
Far point is unchanged
Accommodation power, amplitude & ranghe decrease

Question 8

Astigmatism

Answer 8

Refractive condition of the eye in which parallel rays come into different foci leading to a blurred image
Refractive power is not the same in different meridians
Cornea/lens curvature is irregular

Question 9

Iris

Answer 9

Continuation of uveal tract
Circular pigmented disc-shaped structure w a hole in the middle called the pupil
It is in front of the lens
