1The transparent anterior structure that provides most of the eye's refractive power is the:
A.Cornea
B.Iris
C.Sclera
D.Choroid
Explanation: The cornea is the clear anterior window of the eye and contributes roughly two-thirds of the eye's total refractive power at the air–tear interface.
2Which layer of the eyeball contains the light-sensitive photoreceptors?
A.Sclera
B.Choroid
C.Retina
D.Conjunctiva
Explanation: The retina lines the posterior inner surface of the globe and contains rods and cones that convert light into neural signals.
3The crystalline lens of the eye is normally:
A.Opaque and vascular
B.Transparent and avascular
C.Pigmented like the iris
D.Located behind the retina
Explanation: The healthy crystalline lens is transparent and avascular; it is nourished by aqueous humour and changes shape for accommodation.
4Aqueous humour is produced mainly by the:
A.Lacrimal gland
B.Ciliary body (ciliary processes)
C.Meibomian glands
D.Optic nerve head
Explanation: The ciliary processes of the ciliary body secrete aqueous humour, which flows from the posterior chamber through the pupil into the anterior chamber and drains mainly via the trabecular meshwork.
5Which structure is primarily responsible for controlling the amount of light entering the eye?
A.Cornea
B.Pupil (iris aperture)
C.Vitreous humour
D.Extraocular muscles
Explanation: The pupil is the aperture formed by the iris; iris sphincter and dilator muscles change pupil size to regulate light entry.
6How many extraocular muscles attach to each eye for ocular movement?
A.Four
B.Five
C.Six
D.Eight
Explanation: Each eye has six extraocular muscles: four recti (medial, lateral, superior, inferior) and two obliques (superior and inferior).
7The macula lutea is important clinically because it:
A.Produces aqueous humour
B.Is responsible for central high-acuity vision
C.Drains the lacrimal system
D.Is the insertion of the optic nerve only
Explanation: The macula (with the fovea at its centre) provides detailed central vision needed for reading and fine tasks; macular disease severely reduces acuity.
8The white outer fibrous coat of the eye is called the:
A.Choroid
B.Sclera
C.Retina
D.Uvea
Explanation: The sclera is the dense white fibrous outer layer that maintains globe shape and protects internal structures.
9Tear film has three classic layers. Which gland contributes the aqueous (middle) layer primarily?
A.Meibomian glands
B.Goblet cells of conjunctiva only
C.Main and accessory lacrimal glands
D.Ciliary processes
Explanation: The aqueous component of the tear film is secreted mainly by the main lacrimal gland and accessory lacrimal glands (Krause and Wolfring).
10Which cranial nerve carries visual sensory information from the retina?
A.Cranial nerve II (optic nerve)
B.Cranial nerve III (oculomotor)
C.Cranial nerve V (trigeminal)
D.Cranial nerve VII (facial)
Explanation: The optic nerve (CN II) transmits visual signals from retinal ganglion cell axons to the brain.
