Explanation:

Question 86

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Impaired vision as a result of aging" is presbyopia.
• "Separation of the retina from the choroid layer" is retinal detachment.
• "Abnormally increased intra - ocular pressure" is glaucoma.
• "Clouding of the lens of the eye" is the definition of a cataract.

Let's analyze each option:

• "Farsightedness" is the definition of hyperopia (the eye has difficulty focusing on near objects).
• "Nearsightedness" is myopia.
• "Impaired vision as a result of aging" is presbyopia.
• "Clouding of the lens of the eye" is a cataract.

Answer:

clouding of the lens of the eye
