Part 1 FRCOphth Practice Questions - Part 1 FRCOphth Examination Exam - Part 1 FRCOphth Practice Questions

Question 1

A myopic patient has a far point located 50 cm in front of the eye. Assuming the eye is otherwise emmetropic at its far point, what spectacle lens (at the corneal plane) corrects this refractive error?

-2.00 DS +2.00 DS -0.50 DS -5.00 DS

Correct Answer:

-2.00 DS

Question 2

What is the approximate total refractive power of the standard schematic (reduced) eye, and which single refracting surface contributes the largest share of it?

+60 D total, with the crystalline lens contributing most +60 D total, with the air-cornea interface contributing most +43 D total, with the cornea contributing most +20 D total, with the lens contributing most

Correct Answer:

+60 D total, with the air-cornea interface contributing most

Question 3

An emmetrope aged 70 with a normal near add struggles to read fine print despite correct glasses. Regarding the physiological basis of presbyopia, which statement is most accurate?

Presbyopia is caused by progressive corneal flattening reducing total power The ciliary muscle atrophies completely by age 50, abolishing all accommodation The amplitude of accommodation falls with age, mainly due to increasing lens hardness and reduced lens elasticity Zonular rupture is the primary mechanism of age-related accommodative loss

Correct Answer:

The amplitude of accommodation falls with age, mainly due to increasing lens hardness and reduced lens elasticity

Question 4

A patient with keratoconus shows irregular astigmatism that spectacles cannot correct well. Which optical principle best explains why a rigid gas-permeable contact lens improves vision more than glasses?

The rigid lens corrects the axial length of the eye The rigid lens flattens the cornea permanently, removing the cone The rigid lens increases the refractive index of the cornea The tear film between the rigid lens and cornea creates a new, regular refracting front surface

Correct Answer:

The tear film between the rigid lens and cornea creates a new, regular refracting front surface

Question 5

Using the simple thin-lens vergence equation, an object is placed 25 cm in front of a +5.00 D thin lens in air. Where is the image formed?

100 cm behind the lens (real) 25 cm behind the lens (real) 100 cm in front of the lens (virtual) 20 cm behind the lens (real)

Correct Answer:

100 cm behind the lens (real)
