Response
Question 27
Brief Explanations
Phakic intraocular lenses are used to correct refractive errors in the eye. Myopia (nearsightedness) is a refractive error, while depression is a mental health condition, angiostenosis is a vascular condition, and obesity is a metabolic condition. So myopia is treated with phakic intraocular lenses.
Brief Explanations
- Orthopedist (Ortho/ped/ist) treats musculoskeletal issues, not just feet.
- Chiropractor (Chiro/pract/or) focuses on spine and musculoskeletal alignment.
- Podiatrist (Pod/iatr/ist) is the specialist for foot diseases/disorders (the prefix "pod-" relates to foot, "iatr-" to treatment).
- Chiropodist is an older term, but podiatrist is the standard medical term now, and among the options, Pod/iatr/ist is the correct term for foot - related specialist.
