Answer:

B. Glaucoma

Explanation:

First, let's examine each answer choice.

A: Cataract

The clouding of the lens, which results in blurred vision. This makes it hard to see and do everyday activities.  

B. Glaucoma

The optic nerve becomes damaged because of high pressure in the eye.

C. Myopia

This is more commonly known as near-sightedness. Objects that are close by can be seen clearly, but not objects that are far away.

D. Macular degeneration

The central part of the retina deteriorates, which causes blurred, distorted or loss of vision.

Since Max is showing signs of increased pressure within his eye, he must have glaucoma. Therefore, B is the correct answer.

Why are hair permanents not Permanent??
Galina-37 [17]
The chemicals used only last for a short time, usually about 6 months, although this varies from person to person.  So colour or curl will 'fall' out after a while. 

Even if the process was permanent, your hair continues to grow, so the colour or curl will not be in the hair coming out of your scalp.

The term, 'permanent' was invented because this treatment lasts a lot longer than a rinse or hair curlers.
