Presbyopia is a vision condition in which the crystalline lens of the eye loses its flexibility, that makes it difficult to focus on close objects.
The loss of flexibility takes place over a number of years. Presbyopia usually becomes noticeable in the early to mid-40's. Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process of the eye. It is not a disease, and it cannot be prevented.

Symptoms of presbyopia include the tendency to hold reading materials at arm's length, blurred vision at normal reading distance and eye fatigue.
To help you compensate for presbyopia, your optometrist can prescribe reading glasses, bifocals or contact lenses.
