B) presbyopia

D) pink eye

Accepted Answer

A cataract is a medical condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to impaired vision. Presbyopia is a condition in which the eyes gradually lose the ability to focus on nearby objects. Glaucoma is a condition in which there is an increase in pressure within the eye, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the thin, clear tissue that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelid) and can be caused by a virus, bacteria or allergen.
