Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a visual condition in which the lens loses its flexibility. This results in difficulty focusing on close objects. During the early and middle years of life, the crystalline lens of the eye has the ability to focus both near and distant images by getting thicker for near objects and thinner for distant objects. When this ability is lost, presbyopia results.
