Question

A type of farsightedness that results from a loss of lens elasticity with age is
A) myopia.
B) hyperopia.
C) emmetropia.
D) presbyopia.
E) diplopia.

Accepted Answer

Presbyopia is a condition that affects people as they age, resulting in a loss of lens elasticity and difficulty focusing on close objects. Myopia is nearsightedness, hyperopia is farsightedness, emmetropia is normal vision, and diplopia is double vision, none of which specifically result from a loss of lens elasticity with age.
