Sample questions

Correct answer highlighted

Sample question 1

The cornea is continuous with which structure at the limbus?

  • AIris
  • BRetina
  • Sclera
  • DLens capsule

Explanation

At the limbus, the transparent cornea transitions into the opaque sclera. This junction is an important anatomic landmark in gonioscopy and anterior segment surgery. The iris and lens are internal structures and are not continuous with the corneal tissue in this way.

Sample question 2

Which corneal layer is primarily responsible for pumping fluid out of the corneal stroma to maintain corneal deturgescence?

  • AEpithelium
  • Endothelium
  • CStroma
  • DBowman layer

Explanation

The corneal endothelium maintains relative stromal dehydration through metabolically active pump function. This is essential for corneal clarity. Significant endothelial dysfunction leads to stromal edema and loss of transparency.

Sample question 3

Which corneal layer is in direct contact with the tear film?

  • AStroma
  • Epithelium
  • CDescemet membrane
  • DEndothelium

Explanation

The corneal epithelium is the outermost corneal layer and is bathed by the tear film. It serves as a barrier against infection and injury. The endothelium lines the posterior corneal surface, not the anterior surface.
