Question

In old age, the value of least distance of distinct vision shifts to

• A. larger value
• B. smaller value
• C. Does not change
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In old age, the lens of the eye becomes less flexible, making it harder to focus on nearby objects. As a result, the least distance of distinct vision (the closest distance at which an object can be seen clearly) increases. This is a condition known as presbyopia.

Thus, in old age, the value of the least distance of distinct vision shifts to a larger value.
