Which of the following is NOT a prevention method for vision defects?
A. Regular eye examinations.
B. Wearing sunglasses in bright sunlight.
C. Increasing daily screen time.
D. Using adequate lighting while reading.
Which of the following is a preventive measure for avoiding vision defects?

What is NOT a symptom of aging affecting hearing?
A. Difficulty understanding spoken words, especially against background noise.
B. A constant ringing sound in the ears.
C. Enhanced perception of high-frequency sounds.
D. Needing to increase the volume on the television.
What is an effective prevention strategy for minimizing vision defects?
A. Regular exposure to loud noises.
B. Frequent eye examinations and proper eye care.
C. Avoiding outdoor activities.
D. Consuming less water.
How does aging affect the mechanism of hearing?
A. It leads to a thickening of the eardrum, reducing its ability to vibrate.
B. It increases the elasticity of the auditory canal, enhancing sound transmission.
C. It decreases the production of earwax, leading to dry ear canals.
D. It enhances the function of the Eustachian tube.
What are refractive errors in vision primarily due to?
A. Changes in the auditory canal.
B. Alterations in the shape of the cornea or lens.
C. Damage to the optic nerve.
D. Fluctuations in ambient lighting.
Which of the following is NOT a factor in conductive hearing loss?
A. Obstruction in the ear canal.
B. Damage to the hair cells in the cochlea.
C. Fluid in the middle ear.
D. Perforation of the eardrum.
What is myopia and how does it affect vision?
A. A condition where distant objects appear blurry because the eyeball is too short.
B. A condition where distant objects appear blurry because the eyeball is too long.
C. A condition where near objects appear blurry because the eyeball is too long.
D. A condition where near objects appear blurry because the eyeball is too short.
How can refractive errors in vision be corrected?
A. Through auditory training.
B. By using corrective lenses or undergoing surgical procedures.
C. By increasing vitamin intake.
D. Through regular exercise.
What is the primary cause of color blindness?
A. Frequent headaches.
B. Genetic predisposition.
C. Overuse of corrective lenses.
D. Lack of dietary vitamins.
Which of the following is a symptom of conductive hearing loss?
A. Ringing in the ears.
B. Sudden, complete loss of hearing.
C. Hearing sounds as muffled or blocked.
D. Increased sensitivity to certain frequencies.
Which factor contributes to conductive hearing loss?
A. Damage to the auditory nerve.
B. Fluid in the middle ear.
C. Age-related wear of hair cells in the cochlea.
D. Exposure to very low-frequency sounds.
Which statement about refractive errors is correct?
A. They are primarily caused by auditory issues.
B. They can be corrected by cognitive behavioral therapy.
C. They involve the improper bending of light by the eye.
D. They are unrelated to the eye’s anatomy.
Which of the following does NOT describe myopia?
A. Nearsightedness.
B. Farsightedness.
C. Light focusing in front of the retina.
