Presbyopia: Navigating Age-Related Vision Changes

After age 40, the eye’s lens loses flexibility, making it harder to focus on close objects—a condition called presbyopia. Symptoms include needing to hold books at arm’s length and eye fatigue. Solutions include bifocal glasses, progressive lenses, or corrective surgery like monovision LASIK. Interestingly, a 2022 survey found that 68% of presbyopia patients underuse corrective tools due to aesthetic concerns, worsening quality of life. Regular eye exams ensure timely interventions.
