22
Q

It is a bundle of ganglion axons

A

Optic nerve

23
Q

24
Q

People who find difficulty in seeing a light or object at night are called

A

Night - blind

25
Night blindness results from deficiency in the pigmentation layer in the retina which supplies
Rhodopsin
26
Caused by ABNORMAL LONG EYEBALL so that the image is focused in front of the retina; can see the near objects.
Myopia or Nearsightedness
27
Myopia or Nearsightedness have to wear eyeglasses with _____
Concave lenses
28
when the EYEBALL IS SO SHORT dati image is focused behind the retina; can see clearly at a far distance
Hyperopia or Farsightedness
29
Hyperopia or Farsightedness have to wear eyeglasses with ____
Convex lenses
30
Farsightedness of OLD AGE which is caused by the SLOW HARDENING of the lens
Presbyopia
31
Caused by the UNEVEN CURVATURE of the cornea
Astigmatism
32
Is congenital farsightedness or defect in the eye muscles; have an equal vision in the two eyes
Cross-eye
33
Cross eye can be corrected before the child turns ____
6 yrs old
34
Caused by a CONCENTRIC NARROWING of the field of vision so that a person seems to be looking through a channel or pipe
Tunnel vision
35
Caused by a muscular imbalance which permits light to be reflected from one point to fall on non-responding receptors in the two retina so that two different images are transmitted to the brain
Diplopia or double vision
36
Resulting from excessive use of tobacco or alcohol or from over exposure to light producing temporary or permanent blindspot interfering with vision
Scoma
37
A rapid involuntary side movement of the eyeball or optic nystagmus
Albinism
38
The lens of the eyes changes from clear transparent structure to a cloudy or opaque eyes
Cataract
39
Cause of new cases of blindness characterized by hemorrhaging of the tiny vessels of the retina as a result vision is blurred or distorted
Diabetic retinopathy
40
Part of the eyes that give them color
Iris
