MCQs – NIOS Conference – Sunday Lectures
Lecture 1:
Tonometry: Intraocular pressure, corneal biomechanics and choice of tonometer
- Which of these statements are incorrect?
- There is strong evidence to support higher mean IOP as a significant risk factor for the development of glaucoma
- There is strong evidence to support higher mean IOP as a significant risk factor for glaucoma progression
- IOP is more variable in glaucomatous than in healthy eyes
- IOP is less variable in glaucomatous than in healthy eyes
- Which tonometry method measures IOPcc (Corneal Compensated Intraocular pressure)?
- Goldmann
- DCT (Dynamic Contour Tonometry)
- ORA (Ocular Response Analyser)
- I-Care
- Which of these tonometry methods is most affected by CCT (Central Corneal Thickness)?
- Goldmann
- DCT (Dynamic Contour Tonometry)
- ORA (Ocular Response Analyser)
- I-Care
Lecture 2:
Improving Outcomes in Glaucoma – An Evidence Base for the Role of Optometrists in Glaucoma Care
- According to the UK registry data how many new px per year are diagnosed with vision loss due to glaucoma?
- 100
- 1,000
- 4,000
- 10,000
- What percentage of patients are discharged as normal following first appointment for Glaucoma/OHT within hospital?
- 40%
- 75%
- 5%
- 10%
- Which is incorrect? There is no need to refer for treatment regardless of CCT if:
- IOP < 25 and aged > 65 years
- IOP <26 and aged > 80 years
- IOP < 30 and aged > 80 years
- IOP < 22 and aged > 65 years
Lecture 3:
The role of imaging in managing Glaucoma
- Measurements of structure and function via imaging techniques are used to?
- Assess the extent of RGC loss
- Identify progression
- Quantify progression
- All of the above
- Which is incorrect about Optic Disc photography for progression detection?
- It does not require specialised review softwear
- It is subjective
- It is non quantitative
- It may be subject to poor image quality.
- How often does the WGA recommend that low and moderate risk glaucoma patients should have perimetry performed following the collection of baseline data?
- Yearly
- Every 6 months
- Monthly
- Every 2 years
