Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Leukocoria (cat's eye reflex) and hyphema (blood in the anterior chamber of the eye) are manifestations of retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive tumor of the retina. Treatment is vigorous and may include surgery (including enucleation), radiation, chemotherapy, laser, or cryotherapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
These manifestations are characteristic of cataracts, which can be congenital or acquired. Typical treatment includes surgical removal of the cataract and lens implant. The other options are not part of the treatment for cataracts.
