Which of the following best describes typical vision changes experienced during middle age?

• A. Decreased risk of developing presbyopia
• B. Improved night vision and faster adaptation to darkness
• C. Difficulty focusing on close objects due to reduced lens flexibility
• D. Significant increase in peripheral vision

Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that the question is about typical vision changes during middle age, focusing on common physiological changes in the eye.
2. Recall that presbyopia is a common condition in middle age where the eye's lens loses flexibility, making it harder to focus on close objects.
3. Recognize that decreased risk of presbyopia is incorrect because presbyopia actually becomes more common with age.
4. Note that night vision typically worsens and adaptation to darkness slows down with age, so improved night vision is unlikely.
5. Peripheral vision generally does not significantly increase with age; it may even decrease, so this option is also incorrect.
