Answer 1

The vision defect which arises due to gradual weakning of the ciliary muscles and diminishing flexibility of eye lens is presbyopia.

Explanation:

Presbyopia is a vision defect caused by the gradual weakening of ciliary muscles and loss of flexibility of the eye lens with age. Due to this, the eye loses its power of accommodation, making it difficult to see nearby objects clearly. It commonly occurs in old age and may require bifocal lenses for correction.
