Answer: D. Pain- in Acute close angle glaucoma there is an abrupt onset of eye pain.

Answer: D. Cones (Retina) they are photoreceptor cells in the retinas of vertebrate eyes
including the human eye. They respond differently to light of different wavelengths, and
are thus responsible for color vision.

Answer: A. Contract the Ciliary muscle. It acts on the ciliary muscle and causes it to
contract. This action facilitates the rate that aqueous humor leaves the eye to decrease
intraocular pressure

9. The doctor orders timolol [timoptic]. Nurse Jet knows that the action of this drug is:
Answer: B. Reduce production of Aqueous Humor. The drug belongs to a class of
drugs known as beta-blockers which works by decreasing the amount of fluid within the
