A
Feedback:
The most likely cause for the client's condition is that the pupil is no longer able to dilate fully. As people get older, they need more light to read, because their eyes cannot let in enough light. Loss of visual acuity occurs if debris (waste material) builds up within the eye; the slowing of all body secretions affects the lacrimal glands, and leads to extraordinarily dry eyes. Ptosis occurs because of the continuous strain on the eye over many years. Build-up of debris in the eye, slow body secretion, or continuous strain on the eye, is not responsible for the client's condition.
