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.
