Refraction: practice question

The best answer is A, Convex converging lens. Hyperopia focuses light behind the retina, so a convex lens adds convergence and moves the focal point forward onto the retina.

Cylinder corrects astigmatism rather than simple hyperopia.

Concave lenses correct myopia by diverging light.

An occluder does not correct focus.

It tests Refraction in Ophthalmology. The correct option holds because: Correct: converging power corrects a posterior focal point.

We tag it as an application question: it asks you to use a fact on a patient or a finding. The tag is our own editorial judgement, not an official difficulty rating, so read the reason for every option, not only the answer.

Group the red eye by what to examine and what the pupil does. Then use the flashcards and the other Ophthalmology questions on this site to test what stuck.

No. It is an original practice item (editorial status: sample, version 1). NextPrep does not publish recalled or leaked questions, and independent faculty review of this item has not been completed yet, so confirm important facts in a standard textbook.
