a. Inaccurate color perception
b. Excessive eye dryness
c. Constricted pupils
d. Diminished visual accommodation
A
Yellowing of the lens causes older people to see colors in duller or softer hues and inhibits their ability to differentiate blues, browns, violets, and greens. Eye dryness is related to decreased tearing. Pupil constriction and diminished accommodation are related to the decreased ability of the iris to respond to light changes.
