As people age, particularly after 40, they often experience difficulty seeing objects up close. This is a common sign of presbyopia, a natural condition caused by the gradual loss of elasticity in the eye’s lens, which reduces its ability to focus on nearby objects.
Common Symptoms of Presbyopia
- Difficulty Reading: Text in books, newspapers, or on phone screens appears blurry. You may find yourself holding reading materials farther away to see them clearly.
