    Testing always begins with the Left Eye and is completed before proceeding to Right Eye

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is not universally true. While it is common practice to begin testing with the left eye, it is not a strict rule that testing must always start with the left eye. The order in which the eyes are tested can vary depending on the specific testing protocol or the preference of the examiner. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

    If four or more letters are read on any one line, the subject is required to attempt the letters on the next line, even if he or she feels they are guessing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement suggests that if a subject reads four or more letters on any one line, they are required to attempt the letters on the next line, even if they are unsure and feel like they are guessing. This implies that there is a rule or requirement in place that obligates the subject to continue attempting the letters on the next line, regardless of their confidence level. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

  • 5. 

    What is the purpose of conducting trial-frame refraction?

    • To compare the results with results of a phoropter

    • To achieve the best vision correction in preparation for VA testing

    • To test the knowledge of the VA Examiner

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. To achieve the best vision correction in preparation for VA testing
    Explanation
    The purpose of conducting trial-frame refraction is to achieve the best vision correction in preparation for VA testing. This involves determining the appropriate prescription for the patient by using different lenses and adjustments. By conducting trial-frame refraction, the examiner can fine-tune the prescription and ensure that the patient's vision is optimized before proceeding with visual acuity testing.

    If the subject reads 3 or fewer letters on line 1 at 4 Meters, 

    • The VAE should test the subject for count fingers

    • The VAE should stop the test at 4M and move the subject to 1M

    • The VAE should attempt to test the patient on line 2 at 4M

    • The VAE should stop testing and write N/A for 1M testing

    Correct Answer
    A. The VAE should stop the test at 4M and move the subject to 1M
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that if the subject reads 3 or fewer letters on line 1 at 4 meters, the VAE should stop the test at 4M and move the subject to 1M. This implies that the subject's visual acuity is too low to continue testing at 4 meters, so they need to be moved closer to the chart in order to accurately assess their vision.

    Sections of the Worksheet that are not completed (i.e. Low Vision sections) must be: 

    • Lined through and initialed/dated.

    • Left Blank

    • Zeros entered on each line

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Lined through and initialed/dated.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Lined through and initialed/dated." This means that any sections of the worksheet that are not completed, specifically the Low Vision sections, should be marked by drawing a line through them and then initialing and dating the mark. This indicates that the sections were intentionally left blank and not overlooked or forgotten.

  • 9. 

    New bulbs and replacement bulbs need to be burned-in for 96 hours prior to conducting BCVA testing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Burning in bulbs refers to the process of running them continuously for a certain period of time before conducting any tests or measurements. This is done to stabilize the bulbs and ensure accurate and consistent results. In the case of BCVA testing, which measures visual acuity, it is important to burn in both new bulbs and replacement bulbs for 96 hours to ensure that they are functioning properly and to eliminate any potential variations or inaccuracies in the test results. Therefore, the statement is true.

    The best method of occluding the eye that is not being tested employs the use of the following:

    • Occluding lens

    • Tissue

    • Tissue and tape

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The best method of occluding the eye that is not being tested is to use all of the above options, which include an occluding lens, tissue, and tissue with tape. Using an occluding lens ensures that no light enters the eye, while using tissue or tissue with tape provides a physical barrier to block the vision. Using all of these options together ensures maximum occlusion and prevents any interference during the eye test.

    Which of the following statements is incorrect:

    • If the subject reads 3 or fewer letters on Line 1 at 4M, move the subject to 1M for both refraction and testing

    • The Genentech VA stopping rule is once 3 or fewer letters are read correctly on any row, STOP testing on that row.

    • The Snellen Equivalent is the most difficult line read with a score of 4 or 5

    • The Genentech VA stopping rule is to continue testing the subject until he/she gets a score of ‘0’

    Correct Answer
    A. The Genentech VA stopping rule is to continue testing the subject until he/she gets a score of ‘0’
    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because it states that the Genentech VA stopping rule is to continue testing the subject until he/she gets a score of '0'. However, this statement is incorrect because the Genentech VA stopping rule is actually to stop testing on a row once 3 or fewer letters are read correctly on that row.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which of the following statements is incorrect?

    • Low Vision Testing should be conducted on all subjects who have a Snellen Equivalent of 20/500 or worse

    • Testing should be stopped once the subject reads 3 or fewer letters and a vertical line needs to be drawn through the remaining spaces not tested

    • The subject is only tested at 1M if 3 or fewer letters are read at the 4M distance

    • If the subject reads 4 to 5 letters at 4M, continue testing until the subject can only read 3 or less letters on any line

    Correct Answer
    A. Low Vision Testing should be conducted on all subjects who have a Snellen Equivalent of 20/500 or worse
    Explanation
    The statement "Low Vision Testing should be conducted on all subjects who have a Snellen Equivalent of 20/500 or worse" is incorrect because low vision testing should be conducted on all subjects who have a Snellen Equivalent of 20/70 or worse, not 20/500 or worse.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Low Vision section should be crossed out (draw diagonal line through), initial and date under which of the following conditions:

    • The subject has received a Visual Acuity Score greater than ‘0’

    • The subject has been able to read letters at the 4M and/or the 1M distance

    • If the subject has a Snellen Equivalent score of 20/200

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because crossing out the Low Vision section and initialing and dating it is required under all three conditions mentioned in the options. If the subject has received a Visual Acuity Score greater than '0', it means their vision is not considered low and the section should be crossed out. Similarly, if the subject has been able to read letters at the 4M and/or 1M distance, their vision is not low and the section should be crossed out. Lastly, if the subject has a Snellen Equivalent score of 20/200, it indicates low vision and the section should be crossed out. Therefore, all three conditions require crossing out the Low Vision section.
