What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process where the eye’s lens loses flexibility, making it difficult to focus on close objects. This condition typically begins to affect individuals in their 40s and progresses with age, impacting daily activities such as reading and using digital devices.

Causes of Presbyopia

Presbyopia is primarily caused by the gradual thickening and loss of flexibility of the eye’s lens. As we age, the lens becomes less elastic, reducing its ability to change shape and focus on nearby objects.

Another contributing factor is the weakening of the ciliary muscles, which are responsible for adjusting the lens’s curvature. This muscle deterioration further impairs the eye’s focusing ability.

Environmental factors, such as prolonged exposure to screens and inadequate lighting, may exacerbate the symptoms of presbyopia, although they are not direct causes of the condition.
