Eye Disorders: Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a condition in which distant objects are focused clearly on the retina, but close objects are not, because the focusing ability of the eye has diminished due to the aging process. One of the great injustices of getting older is that around the age of 40, the lens of the eye becomes less flexible, and accommodation (the focusing ability of the eye) is gradually lost. Presbyopia is a normal process that everyone eventually experiences.
