1. A prism will shift an image towards its ______.

Explanation

A prism will shift an image towards its apex. This is because a prism works by refracting light, causing it to change direction. When light enters a prism, it is bent towards the base of the prism. As a result, the image formed by the prism is shifted towards the apex, which is opposite to the direction of the base. Therefore, the correct answer is apex.

2. A prism will bend light rays towards its ________.

Explanation

A prism will bend light rays towards its base. This is because when light enters a prism, it undergoes refraction, which is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another. The angle at which the light bends depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the prism. In a prism, the base is the wider side, and it has a larger surface area for the light to interact with. As a result, the light rays are bent towards the base of the prism.

Submit
3. For a negative lens, it is essentially like 2 prisms with their bases facing ____.

Explanation

A negative lens is essentially like two prisms with their bases facing outward. This means that the lens has a thinner center and thicker edges, causing light rays to diverge or spread out. When light passes through a negative lens, it bends away from the center, creating a virtual image that is smaller and upright compared to the object. The outward facing bases of the prisms in the negative lens cause the light to spread outwards, resulting in the divergence of light rays.

Submit
4. The Seg Inset is the distance between the distance OC and the near OC

Explanation

The statement is true because the Seg Inset refers to the distance between the distance OC (the optical center of the lens) and the near OC (the near optical center of the lens). This distance is important in determining the positioning of the lens in relation to the wearer's eyes and is used in the fitting process of eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Submit
7. Splitting prisms unequally can help to equalize lens thicknesses when lens powers between the 2 eyes are not equal

Explanation

Splitting prisms unequally can help to equalize lens thicknesses when lens powers between the 2 eyes are not equal. This is because prisms can be used to correct for differences in the refractive power of the eyes. By splitting the prisms unequally, the thicker lens can be placed in front of the eye with the lower power, helping to equalize the thicknesses of the lenses. This can improve visual acuity and comfort for individuals with unequal lens powers in their eyes. Therefore, the statement is true.

Submit
8. If there is no prism prescribed for a patient, the PRP will be at the same location as the OC of the lens

Explanation

Prism Reference Point (PRP) is defined as the pont where the OC of the lens should be

Submit
10. Because the eye muscles are yoked, prism placed before one eye affects both eyes

Explanation

The statement is true because the eye muscles are yoked, meaning they work together to control the movement of both eyes. When a prism is placed before one eye, it causes a shift in the visual field for that eye, which in turn affects the alignment and movement of both eyes. This is because the brain coordinates the movements of both eyes, so any change in one eye will impact the other eye as well.

Submit

Submit
13. The goal is to use the smallest lens blank possible that will still fit in the frame

Explanation

The goal of using the smallest lens blank possible that will still fit in the frame is true. This means that when selecting a lens for a frame, the aim is to choose the smallest lens blank that can be cut and shaped to fit the frame properly. This helps to minimize the weight and thickness of the lens, making it more comfortable for the wearer and ensuring a better fit within the frame.

Submit
14. What is refraction based on?

Explanation

Refraction is based on the index of the material. The index of refraction is a property of a material that determines how much the speed of light changes when it passes through that material. When light travels from one medium to another with a different index of refraction, it bends or changes direction. This bending of light is known as refraction. The amount of bending depends on the difference in the indices of refraction between the two materials. Therefore, the index of the material is the determining factor for refraction to occur.

19. If a positive lens is shifted temporally what prismatic effect will that produce?

Explanation

Shifting a positive lens temporally refers to moving it horizontally. When a positive lens is shifted horizontally, it creates a base-out (BO) prismatic effect. This means that light rays passing through the lens will be deviated outward, causing an apparent shift in the position of the object being viewed.

Submit
20. How much prism is induced if a +6.50 lens before the right eye is decentered 3mm nasally?

Explanation

26. As n _____, the speed of light _______.

Explanation

As the value of n increases, the speed of light decreases. This is because the speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to the refractive index (n) of that medium. When the refractive index increases, it means that the medium has a higher density, causing the speed of light to decrease. This phenomenon is known as the refraction of light.

Submit
27. With horizontal prisms, similar bases are _______.  With vertical prisms, similar bases are ________.

Explanation

With horizontal prisms, similar bases are added because the bases are aligned horizontally and when they are combined, their areas are added together. On the other hand, with vertical prisms, similar bases are subtracted because the bases are aligned vertically and when they are combined, the area of the top base is subtracted from the area of the bottom base.

Submit
28. Prentice's Rule depends solves for:

Explanation

Prentice's Rule is a formula used in optometry to calculate the amount of prism induced by a lens. It states that the prism induced is equal to the power of the lens multiplied by the distance away from the optical center (OC) of the lens in centimeters. Therefore, Prentice's Rule solves for the amount of prism induced, not the power of the lens or the distance away from the OC.

Submit
29. What is the different between compounding and cancellation?

Explanation

The correct answer is that compounding involves addition and cancellation involves subtraction. Compounding refers to the process of adding two or more values together, while cancellation refers to the process of subtracting one value from another. This explanation aligns with the definitions and concepts of compounding and cancellation in mathematics.

Submit
30. The slower the light passes through a lens, the ____ it gets refracted.

Explanation

When light passes through a lens, it gets refracted or bent. The speed at which light travels through a medium determines the degree of refraction. The slower the light passes through a lens, the more it gets refracted. This is because the change in speed causes the light waves to change direction as they enter the lens, resulting in a greater bending effect. Therefore, the correct answer is "more".

Submit

-When there is no prism called for in the prescription, the OC and the MRP are exactly the same

Submit
33. How can we ensure that there is no unwanted, induced prismatic effects?

Explanation

To ensure that there are no unwanted, induced prismatic effects, it is important for the optical center to coincide with the line of sight. This means that the point where light rays converge in the lens should align with the direction in which the individual is looking. When the optical center and line of sight coincide, it helps to minimize any distortion or prismatic effects that may occur, providing a clear and accurate visual experience.

Submit
