Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Infections and strokes are risk factors for corneal ulcers while the other cited health problems are not.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Any action that increases intraocular pressure, such as emotional stress, vigorous coughing, and sneezing, and performing the Valsalva maneuver should be avoided. Reading, antihypertensives, and diuretics do not normally constitute a threat and it is unnecessary to advise lying throughout the day.
