What is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a condition that causes gradually worsening vision. The term literally means “old sight”. It is caused by the ageing process.
Symptoms of presbyopia include blurred vision, headaches and difficult focusing on objects up close. Your vision may get steadily worse without treatment.
Presbyopia happens when the lens of your eye loses flexibility as a natural result of ageing. It typically occurs from the age of 40. In most cases presbyopia can be easily treated and managed.
