Question 1 of 5
When assessing visual acuity of the older adult, which visual finding is associated with aging?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Presbyopia. As people age, the lens of the eye loses its flexibility, making it harder to focus on close objects. This condition is known as presbyopia, which is a common age-related change. Myopia (choice A) is nearsightedness and can affect individuals of any age. Strabismus (choice C) is a misalignment of the eyes, not directly related to aging. Astigmatism (choice D) is a refractive error caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, which can occur at any age. Therefore, the visual finding associated with aging is presbyopia due to the natural aging process affecting the lens flexibility.
