Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presbyopia is a condition associated with aging where the eye exhibits a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects. This condition is due to the loss of elasticity of the lens, which can be perceived as an enlargement or thickening of the lens, not due to shrinking. Glaucoma, on the other hand, is related to increased intraocular pressure affecting the optic nerve and is not directly caused by changes in the size of the lens.
