Question 1
Which plastic frame material is most widely used and comes in a variety of colors?
Correct Answer:
Zyl
Explanation:
Cellulose acetate, commonly called Zyl, is the most widely used plastic for eyeglass frames because it’s exceptionally versatile and takes color exceptionally well. It can be formulated in a vast array of colors, transparencies, and patterns—from solid hues to tortoise and multi-tone designs—giving designers and wearers a huge palette to choose from. The material is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to shape into intricate frame styles, and it holds finishes and prints well, making color and pattern longevity practical in daily wear. This combination of broad color options and practical wear properties is why acetate (Zyl) stands out as the go-to plastic for frames. Nylon and metal serve different purposes—nylon for flexible, impact-resistant sport frames and metal for strength with thin profiles—but they don’t offer the same wide color variety as acetate.
Question 2
True or false: A copy of a patient's prescription can be given to their spouse without a signed release of information.
Correct Answer:
False
Explanation:
This tests confidentiality and authorization for sharing patient information. A copy of a patient’s prescription contains protected health information, and you may not disclose PHI to someone outside the treatment team without the patient’s written authorization. Without a signed release, giving the prescription copy to a spouse would breach privacy rules. If the patient wants to share, obtain a signed authorization that specifies what can be shared and with whom. There are narrow exceptions only if the spouse is a legally designated personal representative or if a lawful exception applies, but these still require proper documentation. In practice, don’t provide the copy to the spouse without a signed release.
Question 3
A prescription written as +1.00 OU indicates what?
Correct Answer:
Spherical power +1.00 in both eyes
Explanation:
The plus sign with a number on an eyeglass prescription indicates spherical power, and OU means both eyes. A cylinder value isn’t present, so there’s no astigmatism correction listed. Therefore, +1.00 OU means +1.00 diopters of spherical power for each eye, i.e., a hyperopic correction of +1.00 diopters in both eyes. The other options don’t fit because a cylinder value would appear if astigmatism were corrected, pupillary distance is a separate measurement (PD), and “plus lens power measurement” isn’t how prescriptions are described.
Question 4
Contact lenses can be stored in water for a short period of time. True or False?
Correct Answer:
False
Explanation:
Storing contact lenses in water is unsafe because water is not a disinfectant and can harbor microbes. Soft and rigid lenses can absorb water, causing swelling or distortion that alters fit and comfort. If lenses sit in water, any present microorganisms—bacteria, protozoa, etc.—can reach the eye and increase the risk of serious infections such as keratitis. Approved lens solutions provide disinfection and proper cleaning, while water does not. So the statement is false, since lenses should never be stored in water.
Question 5
The term E.O.B. stands for:
Correct Answer:
Explanation Of Benefits
Explanation:
It stands for Explanation of Benefits. After a claim is processed, the insurance company sends an Explanation of Benefits that details what services were billed, the allowed amount, how much the insurer paid, and what the patient is responsible for (such as deductible, coinsurance, or copays). It isn’t a bill itself, but a breakdown of how the benefits were applied and what remains the patient’s responsibility. In an optical setting, the EOB helps staff explain coverage for eyewear and verify exactly what portion of the cost the insurance will cover versus what the patient must pay. The other options aren’t standard terms in this context: End Of Benefits isn’t a recognized document, Electronic Of Billing is not correct wording, and Estimated Operational Budget relates to internal budgeting rather than claim explanations.
