Accommodation | The process by which the lens of the eye on the posterior side can change shape. |
Near Point | What is the closest point a person can clearly focus on an object |

Proptosis | An extended or protruded upper eyelid that delays closing or remains partially open is called? |
Nystagmus | Uncontrolled oscillating movement of the eyeball |
Snellen eye chart | a simple screening tool to test the ability to see far images is what? |
Jaeger chart or Rosenbaum Pocket Vision Screener | What chart is used to evaluate near vision? |
Cataract | This is when the lens develops opacities due the age related changes |
Ishihara Polychromatic Plates | the chart that assesses color vision |
Corneal light reflex test | This is the extraocular muscle function test that assesses the alignment of the eyes |
Myopia | This is nearsightedness |
Emmetropia | This is the term for normal vision |
Hyperopia | This is the term for farsightedness |
Presbyopia | This is refractive error is associated with aging and having a difficulty with near vision |
Astimatism | Visual distortion caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. |

Macular degeneration | this is a breakdown of or damage to the macula, the point on the retina where light rays converge for the most acute visual perception. |
Glaucoma | This is caused by an imbalance between the production and drainage of aqueous fluid |
open-angle glaucoma | this is the most common form of glaucoma, has slow onset |
Angle-closure glaucoma | this is the less common form of glaucoma that needs immediate recognition to prevent blindness |
