B.Optom Mock Test: 50 Optometry MCQs with Explanations

Last updated: November 2026

A 50-question revision mock for B.Optom students and newly qualified optometrists. The questions follow the course from first-year optics to community optometry, and most are the kind of problem you meet in the refraction room or at the dispensing counter.

• Format: four options, single best answer, 50 minutes.
• Coverage: optics and visual optics, instruments, refraction, dispensing, contact lenses, binocular vision, low vision, ocular disease, pharmacology, paediatric and geriatric optometry, and community optometry.
• After each answer: an explanation, a practical pearl and a link to the page that teaches the topic.

After the test

Write down every topic you got wrong, open its page from the explanation, and tick it off on the subject checklists in RPC Rounds for Optometrists. For calculations, practise with the contact lens calculator and the contact lens quick reference, then take the test again a week later.
