Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The degeneration of the retina in the center would affect the ability to see fine details and result in the loss of visual acuity. Color vision is also likely to be affected as photoreceptors responsible for color vision are more concentrated in the center of the retina. Therefore, choices A and C are incorrect. The degeneration of the retina would occur centrally, which means that the periphery of the retina would still be functional. As a result, peripheral vision would remain intact, which eliminates choice D. Choice B is the best option as it correctly describes the expected effects of the congenital eye disease.
