Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve. This is a characteristic of the disease as it is caused by increased pressure in the eye which damages the optic nerve.

Answer: B 
 Surgery can correct prior damage. While surgery cannot completely reverse damage that has already occurred, it can help to alleviate the pressure in the eye and prevent any further damage from occurring.

Answer: None of the choices 
 The person can develop other eye disorders. Glaucoma is not the only eye disorder that a person can develop.

Answer: D 
 A lens implant will not correct the problem. This is not a valid option for treating glaucoma.
