A) Client is nearsighted.
B) Lens has become cloudy and thick.
C) Loss of elasticity of the ciliary processes
D) Floaters in the eye increase with age.
C
Feedback:
Presbyopia is a result of poor accommodation due to a loss of elasticity of the ciliary muscles and lens. Nearsighted refers to myopia. Cloudiness of lens is also associated with the aging process and does interfere with vision as a result of cataract formation. Floaters in the eyes are more apparent with aging but appear as dark spots.
