Presbyopia is a condition associated with the aging of the eye that results in progressively worsening ability to focus clearly on close objects.[1] Symptoms include difficulty reading small print, having to hold reading material farther away, headaches, and eyestrain.[1] Different people will have different degrees of problems.[1] Other types of refractive errors may exist at the same time as presbyopia.[1]
Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process.[1] It is due to hardening of the lens of the eye causing the eye to focus light behind rather than on the retina when looking at close objects.[1] It is a type of refractive error along with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.[1] Diagnosis is by an eye examination.[1]
