Presbyopia is a natural part of aging, occurring typically around the age of 40, where the eye’s lens becomes less flexible, making it difficult to focus on close objects. Symptoms include the need to hold reading material farther away to see clearly. Unlike myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, which are related to the shape of the eyeball and are classified as refractive errors, presbyopia is due to the aging of the lens. Correction methods include reading glasses, bifocals, and contact lenses.
Presbyopia is when your eyes get older and have a hard time seeing things up close, like when reading a book. It’s like your eyes need extra help to see small things clearly.
