Post Test - Revealing Glaucoma’s Depths: Advances in Pathophysiology Understanding*This post test is NOT required unless your state board requires one for CE credit. Please check with your individual state board. Name * First Name Last Name Email License State and Number Aqueous outflow is greatest via which outflow route? Uveoscleral route Trabecular route Subconjunctival route Transscleral route Which of the following procedures is necessary for the diagnosis of glaucoma? Gonioscopy B-scan ultrasonography Retinal nerve fiber layer analysis Corneal hysteresis All of the following parameters are risk factors for the development of primary open angle glaucoma, EXCEPT: Elevated intraocular pressure Thick central corneal thickness Older age Low diastolic blood pressure What is the primary mechanism of action of rho-kinase inhibitors? Increased uveoscleral outflow Decreased aqueous production Increased trabecular outflow Increased episcleral venous pressure Why may steroids cause elevated intraocular pressure? Due to increased aqueous production Due to increased resistance to aqueous outflow Due to increased trabecular meshwork outflow Due to increased episcleral venous pressure Which of the following statements about primary open angle glaucoma is true? It is a progressive, chronic optic neuropathy It is elevated intraocular pressure It is an uncommon cause of functional vision loss It is a condition characterized by the presence of angle recession Which structure identifiable by gonioscopy has Schlemm’s canal located behind it? Sampaolesi line Anterior trabecular meshwork Posterior trabecular meshwork Ciliary body Which medication is least likely to be effective in lowering IOP in a child under 10 years of age? Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors Prostaglandin analogs Beta blockers A fixed dose combination agent such as Cosopt of Combigan What is the preferred method to evaluate the optic disc in the evaluation of glaucoma Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy Optical coherence tomography Direct ophthalmoscopy Slit lamp fundus biomicroscopy Which medication does NOT lower IOP by reducing aqueous production? Brinzolamide Travoprost Timolol Betaxolol Thank you submitting your responses. They have been recorded. Please email us if you need a copy for your state board.
