What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is the loss of near focusing ability, which occurs with age. People typically experience Presbyopia over 40 years. You have trouble seeing small things during this disease, such as small print-like messages. Unfortunately, Presbyopia can’t be avoided. Everyone, even those who have never had any vision problem or are nearsighted, notices changes in their vision. Even though Presbyopia is a normal change, it can be an emotional event for some people as this disease is associated with aging, and it’s hard to ignore or hide that fact.

What Are The Common Symptoms of Presbyopia?

Symptoms of Presbyopia are easy to identify. If you experience blurry vision and find it more comfortable to look at, read the small things from a distance; if you experience headaches and eye strains and over 40, you may become presbyopic. Presbyopia is not caused by genetics like astigmatism, nearsightedness, or other eye conditions. It is caused by a gradual thickening and loss of flexibility of the natural lens. These changes occur in proteins inside a lens and make it less and less elastic. Loss of elasticity makes it harder to focus.
