Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Poor nutrition, cigarette smoking, and exposure to sunlight are associated with the development of eye diseases. Poor lighting and exposure to sunlight are risk factors that can readily be addressed through simple self-care practices.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Because of age-related changes, the ciliary body gradually becomes smaller, stiffer, and less functional. Although floaters may occur, they do not affect visual acuity. Increased intraocular pressure is a pathologic process in individuals of any age. The lenses increase, not decrease, in mass.
