presbyopia

**presbyopia**

Presbyopia is a common age-related condition that affects the eye’s ability to focus on close objects. It typically begins to develop in people over the age of 40 and is caused by the gradual loss of elasticity in the lens of the eye. Symptoms include difficulty reading small print, eye strain, and the need to hold reading materials farther away. Presbyopia can be corrected with reading glasses, bifocals, or contact lenses, and in some cases, surgery.
