1.

Many infectious agents-including the viruses responsible for acquired immunodeficiency

syndrome (AIDS), hepatitis, and epidemic keratoconjunctivitis-can be recovered from tears.
Tonometers must be cleaned after each use so that transfer of such agents can be
prevented. The prisms should either be soaked in a ?
a. 2:10 sodium hypochlorite solution
b. 5% hydrogen peroxide
c. 90% isopropyl alcohol
d. 3% hydrogen peroxide

Answer D (AAO 2014-2015 10- Glaucoma) pg 26

2. This test may be used with uncooperative patients, but it may be inaccurate even in very
experienced hands. It is possible to estimate lOP by digital pressure on the globe, referred to
as?
a. Tactile tension
b. Aplanasi goldman
c. Gonioscopy
d. Bimanual palpasi

Answer A (AAO 2014-2015 10- Glaucoma) pg 26

3. has a pressure-sensing device that consists of a gas-filled chamber covered with a silastic
diaphragm referred to as?
a. Tactile tension
b. pneumatic tonometer
c. portable electronic applanating
d. Schiotz tonometry

Answer B (AAO 2014-2015 10- Glaucoma) pg 26

4. contain a strain gauge and produce an electrical signal as the tip of the instrument

corneal scars or edema. referred to as?
a. Tactile tension
b. pneumatic tonometer
c. Schiotz tonometry
d. Tono-Pen

Answer D (AAO 2014-2015 10- Glaucoma) pg 26

 5. used in large-scale glaucoma-screening programs or by nonmedical health care providers.
determine lOP, without touching the eye, by measuring the time necessary for a given force
of air to flatten a given area of the cornea. referred to as?
a. Noncontact (air-puff) tonometers
b. dynamic contour tonometer
c. Tactile tension
d. pneumatic tonometer

Answer D (AAO 2014-2015 10- Glaucoma) pg 25

6. The circumstance that led to Possible Sources of Error in Tonometry ? except

a. Squeezing of the eyelids

d. High corneal astigmatism

Answer C (AAO 2014-2015 10- Glaucoma) pg 24

7. like the Goldmann tonometer, uses a split-image prism and fluorescein in the tear film.
However, it is portable and can be used with the patient either upright or supine is?
a. Perkins tonometer
b. Noncontact (air-puff) tonometers
c. dynamic contour tonometer
d. Tactile tension

Answer C (AAO 2014-2015 10- Glaucoma) pg 23
