Presbyopia is a common vision disorder, due to the natural aging of the eye. Specifically, the lens loses elasticity and flexibility, no longer allowing the eye to focus closely.
While presbyopia appearance can vary from one person to another, we generally begin to notice it in the early forties.
It is also important to note that presbyopia is part of the natural aging of the eye, so it is not possible to prevent it.
What are the symptoms of presbyopia?
The following symptoms can be indicators of presbyopia:
- Blurry near vision
- Having to hold a text at arm's length in order to read it clearly
- Visual fatigue
- Headache
- Difficulty seeing clearly without a nearby light source
How to treat presbyopia?
It is easy to correct presbyopia, especially with the help of reading glasses, which act as magnifying glasses and allow you to see more clearly up close. This type of lens is perfect when you only need correction for close distances and not for more distant objects.
How does presbyopia develop?
Presbyopia being a phenomenon due to the natural aging of the eye, it evolves rapidly between the age of onset and the beginning of the sixties.
