Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presbyopia is a gradual age-related loss of the eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects. It occurs because the lens inside the eye stiffens and loses elasticity over time. This makes it harder for the eye to focus on close objects, resulting in difficulty reading small text held at a normal reading distance. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. Pupil dilation, corneal cloudiness, and retinal degeneration are not associated with presbyopia.
