Presbyopiaoccurs at around age 40, when people experience blurred near vision while reading, sewing or working at the computer.It is a vision condition in which the crystalline lens of your eye loses its flexibility, making it difficult for you to focus on close objects. Presbyopia is an age-related change in vision. Presbyopia means age of sight. The word presbyopia comes from the Greek word “ageing eye”

Symptoms:

Headaches

Eye strain

Feel fatigued

Blurred vision

A basic eye test can confirm presbyopia. There is no way to prevent presbyopia, but it is easily treated. Eyeglasses with bifocal or progressive addition lenses (PALs) are the most common correction for presbyopia, because presbyopia can complicate other common vision conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, so your optometrist will determine the specific lenses to allow you to see clearly and comfortably. Getting laser surgery can reduce the impact of presbyopia on one's life.
