Long sightedness is a common vision condition in which nearby objects are blurry.

In this situation, the person with this condition of the eye where the curvature of the cornea is flat or the axial length of the eyeball is short.

Long sightedness is also called hyperopia, and sometimes presbyopia.

If the percent change in quantity demanded is less than the percent change in price, economists label the demand for the good as inelastic.

A good that is inelastic does not have very stretchy demand. In economic terms, the quantity demanded does not change a lot when the price changes.

So, if the price of a good increases by 10 percent and the quantity demanded decreases by only 5 percent or less than 10, that good is said to have inelastic demand.

Hence, in this case, consumers are not considered very sensitive, or responsive, to a change in the price of that good.

The fourth sentence has 'is' before the colon, which is a implies declaration and not listing. So, again, it would not be appropriate.

Hence, the first sentence, however, is punctuated correctly.
