Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Unequal pupil size is termed anisocoria. It normally exists in 5 of the population but may also be indicative of central nervous system disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The presence of shadows in the anterior chamber may be a sign of acute angle-closure glaucoma. The normal iris is flat and creates no shadows. This method is not correct for the assessment of dacryocystitis, conjunctivitis, or cataracts.
