She says that she sees halos around lights, and that she particularly has trouble driving at night because of the glare from headlights. On physical exam, the patient has an absence of a red reflex. What is the most likely pathology that is causing this patients visual symptoms?? A: Corneal edema, B: Degeneration of the retina, C: Hardening of the lens, D: Neovascularization of the retina, E: Optic nerve head damage,  <response>: Based on the patients age and symptoms of blurry vision, halos around lights, and trouble with glare, the most likely diagnosis is hardening of the lens or cataracts. As we age, the lens becomes less flexible and transparent, leading to blurred vision, halos, and glare, especially at night. The absence of a red reflex on exam is also consistent with cataracts. Corneal edema, retinal degeneration, retinal neovascularization, and optic nerve damage would not present with these specific symptoms.C: Hardening of the lens
