Presbyopia

• Presbyopia is an eye condition that usually
  happens to everyone later in the life. People
  suffering from presbyopia have a hard time
  focusing up close.While hyperopia is commonly
  known as farsightedness and myopia as
  nearsightedness, presbyopia might be called old
  sightedness. The term Presbyopia is derived from
  Greek and Latin origins that mean old
  eyes.However, presbyopia is generally seen in
  adults over the age of 40, the exact age of onset
  varies from person to person and depends on what
  type of eyeglass prescription (if any) the
  individual wore before its development.

• Many people with myopia (near-sightedness) can
  read comfortably without eyeglasses or contact
  lenses even after age 40. Presbyopia may seem to
  appear immediately, but the actual loss of
  flexibility in the lens takes place over a period
  of years.Presbyopia is not a disease, and it
  cannot be prevented. There is no cure available
  for it, but there are many ways to improve near
  vision.

Causes of Presbyopia

• This disease is caused by the aging process.
  When one is younger, the lens of the eye is
  flexible and changes its shape in order to focus
  up close this process is called
  accommodation.  With age, the lens becomes
  progressively more rigid and loses its ability to
  accommodate.Trauma, occupation, and lifestyle
  are some of the factors which are responsible,
  but presbyopia is a natural part of the aging
  process and will eventually happen to everyone.

Prognosis of Presbyopia

• By definition, presbyopia is not a disease it
  can always be corrected by glasses or contact
  lenses and will never affect distance vision. It
  worsens over time.
