Presbyopia
What is it?
The focusing ability of the eye gradually decreases causing vision at normal reading distances to become blurred. The natural aging process causes the lens of the eye to lose flexibility and the actual decline in focusing ability may occur over the years. Presbyopia usually becomes apparent to people in their early to mid forties.
Treatment Options
Your optometrist may recommend eyeglasses and contact lenses.
