Solution

Give the biological/technical term for the following.​
Eye lens losing flexibility results in a kind of long-sightedness in elderly people.​
Answer: Presbyopia.​
- Elder people usually develop a condition called presbyopia which makes it difficult to see near objects clearly. ​
- Their lens loses flexibility resulting in a kind of far-sightedness. ​
- Ordinarily the lens gradually becomes less elastic with age, so the power of accommodation is lost progressively. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
