Answer:
The medical term presbyopia is Greek for “old eyes.” As if you needed one more reminder of how many candles there were on your last birthday cake, right? But before you start obsessing about your ebbing youth, relax. Remember that the loss of clear up-close vision happens to all of us eventually. It’s not a disease, it’s as normal as wrinkles. And there’s an upside! There are eyeglasses — even funky fashionable ones! Or those clever “studious type” specs you’ve been eyeing. Today, whether it’s contact lenses or vision correction surgery, there are so many choices that it may make this rite of passage a little less of a bummer. Don’t worry, whatever you choose, you’ll be reading menus again in no time.
Presbyopia is part of the natural aging process of the eye, and can be easily corrected. Technically, presbyopia is the loss of the eye's ability to change its focus to see objects that are near. Presbyopia generally starts to appear around age 40 and gets progressively worse until around your late 60s, when it usually levels off. It doesn’t usually affect your baseline distance vision.
Presbyopia generally affects men and women equally. Since presbyopia will continue throughout your life, it’s important to understand that it can complicate other common vision conditions like farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism. Eye experts call these common eye focus conditions refractive errors. But there’s good news ahead.
Understanding your eye health and getting regular eye exams will help you continue to see clearly and comfortably.
