what is presbyopia?



 


Presbyopia is a condition in which the eyes have difficulty in focusing on the nearby objects as people age. Our lens is the eyes automatically control the thickness to focus on the far and the close objects. However, when we reach 40, the flexibility of the lens decrease, it get thicker, and the ciliary body muscles get weaker. When this happens, the accommodation power decreases, so it gets difficult to look at the nearby objects.
