Which findings result from age-related changes in the retina of the eye?

Floaters are small specks or cobweb-like images that drift through your field of vision. They are often a result of age-related changes in the vitreous gel of the eye, which can become more liquid and pull away from the retina as we age. These changes can lead to the formation of floaters as tiny clumps of gel or cells cast shadows on the retina.

As individuals age, the structure of the eye changes, and the vitreous humor can become less stable, leading to increased visibility of these floaters. This phenomenon is commonly observed in older adults and is considered a normal part of the aging process in the visual system.

The other options reflect changes that may not directly relate to age-related degeneration of the retina itself. For example, changes in pupil size may be related to various factors, including lighting conditions or health issues, but not specifically to the aging retina. Changes in depth perception can arise from a variety of factors, including aging, but they are not directly tied to retinal changes. Increased color perception is typically not associated with age-related changes in the retina; in fact, older adults often experience a reduction in color perception, particularly in distinguishing between certain hues. Thus, floaters stand out as the correct answer in relation to
