I took it, and most of the questions are from two main areas (the page numbers refer to the CA Laws and Regulations, 2011 edition; the first number is the page number at the bottom of the document, and the number in parentheses is the number of the PDF):
1. What procedures an optometric assistant can perform, page 73 (93), Section 2544.
2. When you must refer to ophthalmologist, pages 85-87 (105-107), Section 304.
There are plenty of questions from other areas, but they're all patient-related, practical questions, and nothing about how the board is organized or anything like that. There's also some questions on whether an action is professional inefficiency or professional misconduct or gross negligence or something else, but I couldn't find anything on that in the 2011 edition, so maybe they got those from somewhere else.
Here's a little list I made that covers when you have to refer to an ophthalmologist:
2 days: Central corneal ulcer, preseptal cellulitis, or dacryocystitis (not improved)
3 days: Uni nongran idiopathic iritis, periph corneal inflam keratitis, traumatic iritis (worsens)
1 week:Traumatic iritis (not resolved), HSV or VZV keratitis (not improved), HSV or VZV conjunctivitis, periocular (worsens)
3 weeks: Allergy tx with topical steroid (worsens), uni nongran idiopathic iritis (not resolved), HSV or VZV keratitis, HSV or VZV conjunctivitis, periocular (not resolved)
6 weeks: Uni nongran idiopathic iritis (still receiving meds)
1 year: Uni nongran idiopathic iritis, episcleritis (re-occurs)
