About Presbyopia

What Is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a natural part of aging, and usually starts to occur as you enter your mid 40s. Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes’ ability to focus on nearby objects. It’s a natural, but annoying part of aging.

What Causes Presbyopia?

As we age, your eye’s natural lens looses elasticity so you cannot focus at near as well as when you were younger.
