Which of the following is an eye disease?

Options

  1. AHepatitis
  2. BMeasles
  3. CGlaucoma
  4. DBronchitis

Correct answer

C. Glaucoma

Step-by-step solution

Glaucoma is a condition in which loss of vision occurs because of an abnormally high pressure in the eye. In most cases there is no other ocular disease. This is known as primary glaucoma and there are two pathologically distinct types- acute and chronic simple. In acute (or angle-closure) glaucoma, there is an abrupt rise in pressure due to sudden closure of the angle between the comea and iris where aqueous humour usually drains from the eye. This is accompanied by pain and marked blurring of vision associated with inflammation of the anterior segment. In the more common chronic simple (or open-angle) glaucoma, the pressure increases gradually, usually without producing, pain, and the visual loss is insidious. The same type of visual loss may rarely occur in eyes with a normal pressure, this is called low-tension glaucoma. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by viruses, toxic substances or immunological abnormalities. Measles (Rubeola disease) is an acute infectious eruptive viral disease of childhood (3-5 years old) caused by specific virus of the group myxoviruses. Basically it is caused by an RNA containing Rubeola virus/Polynosa morbillorum. Measles is the infection of respiratory tract and conjunctiva which is transmitted by contact, fomite and droplet methods. Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchi.
