Read the following excerpt from a health note:I saw Mrs. Kelly Robison in my office on 5/7/2015 for routine follow-up. As you know, Mrs. Robison initially presented with nystagmus, strabismus, and noted photophobia. She was diagnosed at the time with aniridia. I have been treating her medically with miotics.Which of the following groups of definitions is correct?
A. nystagmus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes
strabismus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object
photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (paralysis) = eyes do not function properly in the light
aniridia: an (small) + irid (iris) + ia (condition) = condition where the iris is overly contracted
miotics: mio (contraction) + tic (agent) = drug that causes the abnormal contraction of the pupil
B. nystagmus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object
strabismus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes
photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (excessive sensitivity) = excessive sensitivity to light
aniridia: an (no) + irid (iris) + ia (condition) = absence of the iris
miotics: mio (contraction) + tic (agent) = drug that causes the abnormal contraction of the pupil
C. nystagmus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object
strabismus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes
photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (paralysis) = eyes do not function properly in the light
aniridia: an (small) + irid (iris) + ia (condition) = condition where the iris is overly contracted
miotics: mio (contraction) + tic (agent) = drug that causes the abnormal contraction of the pupil
D. nystagmus: involuntary back-and-forth movement of the eyes
strabismus: condition where the eyes deviate when looking at the same object
photophobia: photo (light) + phobia (excessive sensitivity) = excessive sensitivity to light
aniridia: an (no) + irid (iris) + ia (condition) = absence of the iris
miotics: mio (contraction) + tic (agent) = drug that causes the abnormal contraction of the pupil
