What is loss of lens elasticity?
Presbyopia
What Progressive eye defect resulting in difficulty focusing and caused by loss of elasticity in the lens?
Hemianopia Presbyopia
What happens if the elasticity of eye lens is reduced to zero?
If the elasticity of the eye lens is reduced to zero, the lens would become rigid and unable to change shape. This would result in difficulty focusing on objects at different distances, leading to blurred vision and potentially causing conditions like presbyopia. Surgery or corrective lenses would likely be needed to improve vision.
What does the elasticity of the eye's lens allow for?
This elasticity allows the lens to focus on both near and far objects.
What is one common cause of farsightedness?
The cornea is not curved enough. In other words, the eye is too short.
What in the lens decreases as you get older?
The flexibility and elasticity of the lens decrease as you age, leading to a condition known as presbyopia. This makes it harder for the lens to focus on close-up objects, resulting in the need for reading glasses or bifocals in many individuals.
The loss of elasticity in the tissues of the lungs is called what?
The loss of elasticity of the alveoli is caused by high pressure in the bladder causing an unsafe drop in blood pressure which will cause alveoli to lose their elasticity. It can also be caused by being overweight, underweight, or eating feces.
Do you get laryngitis or influenza with the loss of alveolar elasticity?
No, alveolar elasticity would not directly lead to laryngitis or influenza.
Loss of skin elasticity is a clinical sign of?
dehydration
What is the thickening and loss of elasticity of the arteries referred to as?
atheroma
Wrinkling of the skin is due to loss of?
the skin's elasticity
