Final answer:

For an AD flare, if referring to Acute Dilation, pupil dilation is likely due to a sympathetic response; in the case of Atopic Dermatitis, no direct effect on the eye is expected. For hyperopia, near vision would become blurry. Therefore, the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an individual experiences an AD (Autonomic Dysreflexia) flare, the immediate context of the question does not directly relate to changes within the eye's visual acuity or pupil behavior. However, if the AD referred to is Acute Dilation, then it would likely result in pupil dilation due to the body's sympathetic fight or flight response. If instead, the context is Atopic Dermatitis (AD), the eye itself may not be directly affected, hence none of the options listed would necessarily be expected.

For clarification purposes, in the context of hyperopia (farsightedness), you would expect near vision to become blurry. Hyperopia is a condition where the eye is unable to adequately converge light rays from close objects by the time they hit the retina, resulting in blurred close vision, often due to insufficient power in the lens or because the eyeball is too short.
