3. "My mom has been complaining of dry eyes, but I knew it was all in her head."
4. "I didn't know that Asians have the highest risk for developing glaucoma."
Correct Answer: 2
Preschool-aged children should have their vision screened to detect problems early. Early detection can lead to early treatment. One of the objectives of Healthy People 2020 is to increase the number of people who have dilated eye examinations performed. This is a screening method that can lead to early detection of eye problems. Older adults have a decrease in tear secretions that result in complaints of dry eyes. African Americans have the greatest risk for developing glaucoma when compared to other racial groups.
