Answer to Question 1

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a defect in the curvature of the eyeball surface, resulting in blurred vision.

Answer to Question 2

A

A cane is appropriate for broadening the base of support, not for bearing weight. It would be inappropriate to use a walker as a preventative measure against loss of mobility and a wheelchair should not be used simply to speed up mobility.
