Question

An increase in the pressure inside the eyeball is called
A) a cataract
B) presbyopia
C) glaucoma
D) hypertension

Accepted Answer

An increase in the pressure inside the eyeball is a symptom of glaucoma, a condition that damages the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss. A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, presbyopia is a gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus on nearby objects, and hypertension is high blood pressure. None of these directly relate to increased pressure within the eyeball.
