1. What is the intended outcome for the treatment of glaucoma?

• A. Improve the vision of the eye
• B. Strengthen the muscles of the eye

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Lower the intraocular pressure. The primary objective of treating glaucoma is to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent further vision loss. Choice A, 'Improve the vision of the eye,' is incorrect because while treatment may prevent vision loss, it does not necessarily improve vision.

Choice D, 'Dry up excess secretions,' is not related to the treatment goal of glaucoma which is focused on managing intraocular pressure.
