Question

Which of the following statements are true for presbyopia?

• A. Decreased power of accommodation
• B. Weak ciliary muscles and reduced flexibility of eye lens
• C. Usually occurs with increasing age
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

In Presbyopia, the power of accommodation of the eye gradually decreases with age. For most people, the near point moves further away from 25cm. Sometimes, a person may suffer from both myopia and hypermetropia. This defect arises due to the gradual weakening of the ciliary muscles and diminishing flexibility of the eye lens.

So option A, B, C are correct. The answer is option D.
