Question

What causes hardening of the eyeball and great pressure inside the eye?

• A. Cataract
• B. Trachoma
• C. Glaucoma
• D. Meningitis

Answer 1

The correct option is C Glaucoma

Cataract, one of the leading clauses of blindness, is a clouding of the lens of the eye.

Hence, Option A is not the right answer.

Trachoma is a contagious disease of the eye caused by a virus.

Hence, Option B is incorrect.

According to the passage, with Glaucoma, there is a hardening of the eyeball and great pressure inside the eye.

Today there are medicines to control glaucoma if it is discovered in time.

Hence, Option C is correct.

Meningitis is a general disease of the body.

It is not a disease of the eye.

Therefore, Option D is not the right answer.
