Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a common vision condition that affects nearly everyone with age, leading to difficulty focusing on near objects. Tasks like reading, texting, or threading a needle can become blurry and frustrating. While it’s not a disease, presbyopia is a natural part of aging that impacts your eyes' focusing ability.
Symptoms of Presbyopia​​​​
-
Difficulty focusing on near objects (reading, using a computer, holding objects close)
-
Holding reading materials farther away to see them clearly
-
Increased need for brighter light for near tasks
-
Eyestrain and headaches after reading or close work​​
Causes of Presbyopia
-
Reduced Lens Flexibility: As we age, the lens inside the eye becomes less flexible and loses elasticity, making it harder to adjust for near focusing.
-
Weakened Ciliary Muscles: The ciliary muscles that surround the lens weaken over time, further limiting the lens's ability to focus on close objects.​​​
