Answer to Question 1

4
The stimulation of the trigeminal nerve (CN V) causes the corneal reflex, a protective blink. Cranial nerves II, III, or IV do not control the corneal reflex.

Answer to Question 2

2
The lacrimal gland moistens the eye by producing and distributing tears to lubricate the eye. The lacrimal gland does not cover the eye for protection, help the eye keep its shape, or provide blood to the eye.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
