Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The Rosenbaum eye chart is used to test for near or reading vision. The Snellen chart is used to test far or distant vision. A penlight is used to test extraocular movements and pupillary response. The cover-uncover test is used to assess for eye muscle strength.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C, E

High-dose antioxidants and zinc are the treatments for early dry macular degeneration. Laser surgery is used to treat wet macular degeneration. Eye drops and eye patches may be used after laser surgery but are not part of the initial treatment for the disorder.
