Question 57

The medical term "Glaucoma" has its etymological roots related to vision characteristics. The prefix "glauc-" is associated with a grayish - cloudy appearance or related to a waterfall - like (in terms of the visual effect) or gray vision. "Swelling of blood" is not related to glaucoma. "Watery tumor" is incorrect as glaucoma is not a tumor. "Tumor of black" is also incorrect as it has no relation to the meaning of glaucoma.

The medical term "Keratitis" is composed of "kerat - " (which refers to the cornea of the eye) and " - itis" (which means inflammation). So "Keratitis" means inflammation of the eye's cornea. "Inflamed eye chamber" is incorrect as the chamber is not related to the cornea. "Inflamed skin layer" is wrong as "kerat - " is about the eye's cornea, not skin. "Inflamed eye lid" is incorrect as the lid is not the cornea.

Answer:

A. waterfall, cloudy, or gray vision
