Presbyopia
What is presbyopia ?
Presbyopia is a natural, age-related vision change that makes it difficult to focus on close objects. This condition typically becomes noticeable in your mid-40s and continues to progress until around age 65. It occurs due to the gradual hardening of your eye’s natural lens, making it less flexible and affecting your ability to focus on near objects.
