Glaucoma is the eye disorder which happens due to an increase of fluid pressure within the eyes. Hence option D is the correct answer.

In this disease the internal fluid pressure increases as much that they may damage the nerve optics present inside the eye. It will ultimately affect the vision of the eye. This will result in hazy and blurred vision.

It is the most common disorder of eye which occurs in old age humans. The increase of pressure is result of any blockage in the optic nerves. This blockage happens due to the solidification of fluids flowing inside the optic nerve.

Glaucoma

Explanation:

The eye disorder which is caused due to increased pressure in the eye is termed as Glaucoma.

It mostly affects the optic nerve of the eye and slowly damages it as time passes by.

Glaucoma will in general be acquired and may remain silent and gets exposed in later situations.

The increased pressure in eye is termed as intraocular weight and such type of disorder may cause permanent vision loss if left untreated.

From this data it can be inferred that Beverly is affected with eye disorder called Glaucoma.
