Vision Defects and Eye Conditions Questions

Multiple choice

Which of the following is not a complication of cataract surgery?

  1. Endophthalmitis

  2. Epilepsy

  3. Posterior capsule opacification

  4. Retinal detachment
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Epilepsy is not a complication of the cataract surgery. Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures over time. Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain activity that cause changes in attention or behaviour.

Multiple choice

Protrusion of eyeball is a symptom of 

  1. hypothyroidism

  2. cataract

  3. Addison’s disease

  4. hyperthyroidism
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Protrusion of eyeball is a symptom of hyperthyroidism. The forward protrusion of the eyes is due to immune-mediated inflammation in the retro-orbital fat. Exophthalmos, when present, may exacerbate hyperthyroid lid lag and stare.

Multiple choice

Which of the following statements is true in relation to optic neuritis?

  1. It develops when the immune system mistakenly targets the substance covering your optic nerve (myelin), resulting in inflammation and damage to the myelin.

  2. The only treatment is retinal transplant.

  3. Its symptoms are blood sugar levels increase in the body and redness occurs in limbs.

  4. It is non-curable.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Optic neuritis is an inflammation of the optic nerve, the bundle of nerve fibres that transmits visual information from your eye to your brain. Pain and temporary vision loss are common symptoms of optic neuritis. Optic neuritis is highly associated with multiple sclerosis, a disease that causes inflammation and damage to nerves in your brain and spinal cord. In some people, signs and symptoms of optic neuritis may be the first indication of multiple sclerosis. Most people who have a single episode of optic neuritis eventually recover their vision. Treatment with steroid medications may speed up vision recovery after optic neuritis.

Multiple choice

Approved eye protection is worn in the lab

  1. to avoid eye strain

  2. only if you do not have corrective glasses

  3. to improve your vision

  4. any time chemicals, heat, or glassware are used
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Eye protection is required whenever there is a risk of splashes, flying debris, or chemical exposure. This is a mandatory safety practice.

Multiple choice physics motion and measurement measuring length measurement of small and large distances measurement of distance

Error due to eye vision is termed as :

  1. climax error

  2. sight error

  3. parallax error

  4. visional error
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$Answer:-$ C

Parallax also affects optical instruments such as rifle scopes, binoculars,microscope and twin lens reflex cameras that view objects from slightly different angles. Many animals, including humans, have two eyes with overlapping visual fields that use parallax to gain depth perception; this process is known as stereopsis.

Multiple choice chemistry adsorption and colloids applications of colloids colloids around us the colloidal state

The colloidal sol found effective in the treatment of eye disease is:

  1. colloidal sulphur

  2. colloidal antimony

  3. colloidal silver

  4. colloidal gold
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Colloidal silver has also been said to help prevent eye infections in infants when colloidal silver eye drops are used. It is also used for medical purposes including as disinfectants and microbiocides. Silver has also been added to bandages and dressings, and to the coating of medical instruments.

Vision problem occurring in old age is known as:

  1. Myopia

  2. Presbyopia

  3. Hypermetropia

  4. Anepia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Presbyopia is a condition that occurs due to the loss of the flexibility of lens with the old age. It creates difficulty in focussing on near objects. It can be corrected by using convex lens. 

Myopia or nearsightedness is a condition in which the eyeball is longer than normal. Light rays converge in front of retina forming a blurred image. The condition can be corrected by using concave lens. 
Hypermetropia or farsightedness is a condition in which the eyeball is shorter than the normal. Light rays strike the retina before converging causing a blurred image. The condition can be corrected by using convex lens. 
Anepia is a cognitive disorder marked by an impaired ability to comprehend or express language in its written or spoken form. 
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Multiple choice evs let's clean together cleanliness who will do this work? personal and public cleanliness

Conjunctivitis can spread through the use of common

  1. Handkerchief.

  2. Towel.

  3. Comb.

  4. Both A and B.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctiva which is caused due to bacteria. The bacterial growth in the eye may result in reddening, swelling and watering of the eyes. The infection is contagious and spreads from one infected person to other. The towel or the handkerchief which is used to wipe the eye is the source of transmission of the bacterial infection. The other person using the items may also suffer from infection. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

  1. concave lens

  2. cylindrical lens

  3. convex lens

  4. plano-convex lens
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea does not have a truly spherical shape. This defect can be cured by the use of a convex lens.

A student of class $  10,  $ is not able to see clearly the black board question when seated at a distance of $5  \mathrm{m}  $ from the board,the defect he is suffering from is

  1. Myopia

  2. Hypermetropia

  3. Presbyopia

  4. Astigmatism
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

If a student cannot see distant objects (like a blackboard) clearly, they are suffering from myopia (nearsightedness).

Multiple choice structure of human eye human eye and colourful world

Myopia is a defect of vision caused by

  1. decrease in the retinal distance from the lens

  2. a decrease in the diameter of the eyeball

  3. an increase in the thickness of the lens

  4. an increase in the curvature of the lens
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Myopia is primarily caused by an elongated eyeball or an increase in the curvature of the lens, both of which cause light to converge in front of the retina instead of on it.
