A) macular degeneration
B) glaucoma
C) cataracts
D) nyctalopia

Accepted Answer

Glaucoma is caused by an abnormal accumulation of aqueous humor in the eye, leading to increased intraocular pressure, which can damage the optic nerve and result in vision loss. Macular degeneration is caused by damage to the macula, a small area near the center of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. Cataracts are caused by the clouding of the lens of the eye, leading to blurry vision. Nyctalopia is also known as night blindness and is caused by a deficiency in vitamin A or other factors affecting the function of the retina.
