Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 4, 5

1. Increased density of the lens can cause glaring.
2. Difficulty with night vision is caused by an increased constriction of the pupil.
3. Decreased peripheral vision is because of a loss of subcutaneous tissue around the eyes.
4. Increased density of the lens causes difficulty with focusing, particularly for near vision.
