Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The deviation of the eye inward is entropia, while deviation of the eye outward is extropia. Di-plopia is double vision. Nystagmus is an involuntary unilateral or bilateral rhythmic movement of the eyes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Glaucoma is the result of increased intraocular pressure. Ocular degeneration results in changes in vision, but not intraocular pressure. Diplopia is double vision. Nystagmus is an involuntary uni-lateral or bilateral rhythmic movement of the eyes.
