Question

Which of the following conditions might lead to or be associated with the development of a traumatic cataract due to contusion injury?

A) Marfan's syndrome
B) Homocystinuria
C) Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
D) Contusion Injury
E) Pseudoexfoliation
F) Syphilis

Answer 1

Traumatic cataracts are directly associated with physical trauma to the eye, and contusion injury represents the blunt force necessary for the development of such cataracts. Thus, the correct answer is option D) Contusion Injury

Step-by-step explanation:

Traumatic cataracts can result from direct injury to the eye, causing damage to the lens. Contusion injuries involve blunt force trauma, such as being hit or struck on the eye. Marfan's syndrome, Homocystinuria, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Pseudoexfoliation, and Syphilis are not direct causes of contusion injury.

These conditions may have other ocular manifestations, but they are not linked to the mechanical impact necessary for traumatic cataract formation. Therefore, the most appropriate and direct answer is Contusion Injury.

Thus, the correct answer is option D) Contusion Injury
