Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a condition in which the eye can no longer accommodate or focus objects up close to the point where near vision becomes blurred.  Presbyopia usually occurs to people between the ages of 38 and 45.  People with presbyopia will hold print further away, tilt the paper or increase the light in order to read better.  Presbyopia is treated by reading glasses, bifocals or contacts.
