8. A 50-year-old woman, makes complain about persistent pain in a postprandial right upper quadrant, which has been happening during the last few years. Recently, the patient's vision got worsen too, when it is dark. What are the molecular mechanisms of these two connected pathologies in that patient – the gallbladder malfunction and the vision drop?
