Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
The eye color of an infant is determined by 6 to 12 months of age. A newborn sees best at distances of about 8 to 10 inches. The optic nerve is not completely myelinated, so color discrimination is incomplete. The rectus muscles are uncoordinated at birth and mature over time, so binocular vision may be achieved by 4 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
Eye patching is used for amblyopia or any condition that results in one eye being weaker than the other. Corrective lenses would be appropriate for astigmatism, hyperopia, and myopia.
