| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Defect in the curvature of the eyeball surface: | astigmatism |
| Clear, watery fluid, continually secreted drained and replaced to maintain normal intraocular pressure: | aqueous humor |
| An instrument usedto measure hearing acuity quantitatively for the various frequencies of sound waves: | audiometer |
| A test for hearing acuity: | audiometry |

| The deflection or bending of light rays by a lens: | refraction |
| A ten-layer, delicate, nervous-tissue membrane of the eye that receives images and transmits impulses to the brain: | retina |
| White of the eye: | sclera |
| A defect in the inner ear that results in distortion, making discrimination difficult; usually caused by trauma, infection or exposure to ototoxic drugs: | sensorineural hearing loss |
| Assessment of visual acuity; used as screening test: | snellen's test |
| Inability of the eyes to focus in the same direction; commonly called cross-eyed: | strabismus |
| A subjective noise sensation heard in one or both ears; usually ringing or tinkling sounds: | tinnitus |
