Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients with cataracts generally describe progressive and painless decreased visual acuity. The altered vision includes general blurring, dimming, and haziness of vision as well as the development of halos and glares in response to bright lights or when driving in the dark. The opacities may be visible as gray or whitening areas over the pupil.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In glaucoma, inspection may identify cup/disk ratio change; late afferent effect is possible.
