During an eye assessment, a young adult client reports difficulty seeing items within close range. This assessment data is consistent with which item?
1. Aging.
2. Presbyopia.
3. Hyperopia.
4. Astigmatism.
Correct Answer: 3
Younger clients who are unable to see items well at close range have a condition called hyperopia. This condition is also referred to as farsightedness. Aging can produce changes in the eye but this client is 24 years old. Presbyopia is an age-related condition. The lens loses its ability to accommodate viewing items at close range. Astigmatism occurs when light is refracted over a wide area rather than on a distinct area of the retina.
