This is a pretty easy hypothetical quesion, and one they might see. I would have liked to have posted a lot of board questions that I saw on the one I took. Although, I knew that would be unethical and diminish the test quality.

Good luck everyone

For the 22-mm round fused bifocal segment (segment optical center 11mm below the segment top)

jump = 1.1 cm (+2.50, add of the bifocal)

= 2.75 prism diopters , base down


Yay, and I also passed the NBEO part 1 a year ago.
