Presbyopia
Presbyopia Causes
The hardening of the lens in the eyes that develops with age, causes presbyopia. The lens has become inflexible causing close-up images appear out of focus.
Presbyopia Definition
Presbyopia is the condition of the eyes in which they gradually lose their ability to focus actively on nearby objects.
Presbyopia Diagnosis
Diagnosis of presbyopia can be confirmed through a basic eye exam performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
Presbyopia Symptoms and Signs
An individual has presbyopia when he or she finds prints to be unclear even at a normal reading distance. He or she may suffer from eyestrain or headaches due to prolonged reading or close work.
Presbyopia Treatment
The condition is treated by compensating an individual's inability to focus on nearby objects. The doctor may recommend corrective lenses, refractive surgery, or lens implants.
