Correct answer highlighted

Sample question 1

A classic optic disc change in glaucoma is:

  • AMacular hole formation
  • Progressive cupping of the optic nerve head
  • CCherry-red spot
  • DPapilledema from raised intracranial pressure

Explanation

Progressive enlargement of the optic cup is a classic glaucomatous optic disc change. This reflects loss of neuroretinal rim tissue from retinal ganglion cell axon damage.

Sample question 2

Selective laser trabeculoplasty is applied to the:

  • AIris sphincter
  • BMacula
  • CPosterior capsule
  • Trabecular meshwork

Explanation

Selective laser trabeculoplasty targets the trabecular meshwork to improve aqueous outflow and lower intraocular pressure. It is used mainly for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Sample question 3

In neovascular glaucoma, the underlying retinal problem is often:

  • AMild cataract only
  • Ischemia
  • CSimple refractive error
  • DA corneal abrasion

Explanation

Neovascular glaucoma is usually driven by retinal ischemia, which stimulates release of angiogenic factors such as VEGF. This leads to abnormal new vessels on the iris and in the angle.
