Question
- which of the following can be diagnosed by looking at the retina:
○ diabetes
○ myopia
○ dehydration
○ anemia
- ______ is a defect in the vision in which the rays focus behind the retina due to a flattened eye globe, a flattened cornea or some other type of refractive error.
○ hyperopia
○ myopia
○ retinitis pigmentosa
○ keratoconus
Question 92
Diabetes can cause diabetic retinopathy, which affects the retina and can be detected by examining the retina. Myopia is a refractive error related to eye shape (light focuses in front of retina), dehydration is detected via other signs (e.g., dry mouth, low urine output), and anemia is related to blood cell count/hemoglobin, not retina examination.
Hyperopia (farsightedness) occurs when light focuses behind the retina, often due to a flattened eye globe or cornea. Myopia focuses light in front of the retina. Retinitis Pigmentosa is a retinal degenerative disease, not a refractive error. Keratoconus is a cornea - related disorder, not about light focusing behind the retina.
