Difficulty Seeing close up as age

I have felt it difficult to read small characters with age! It may be the beginning of age-related farsightedness.

What is age-related farsightedness, or presbyopia?

Also called “age-related farsightedness,” presbyopia refers to the symptom of difficulty seeing close objects.

It results from the worsening of the focusing function, or the “ability to adjust focus.”

Age-related farsightedness causes a gradual deterioration of the focus adjustment function due to a decay in the ciliary muscle or the stiffening of the lens.

Every person over the age of 40 starts to feel this aging phenomenon with age.

Although the degree of age-related farsightedness is different depending on whether a person suffers from myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, all people develop age-related farsightedness.

Symptoms

  • I have trouble seeing objects in a dimly-lit place.
  • My eyes get strained soon.
  • I find myself holding objects farther away when I see them.
  • I cannot keep my concentration.

Mechanism of the eyes

The musculus ciliaris becomes tense to expand the crystalline lens and focus light on the retina.

Measures / Improvements
  • Use bifocal lenses, progressive power lenses for middle/near vision, or wide vision lenses for near vision.
  • When you use eyeglasses for a long time, make reading glasses suitable for the purpose of use or for your eyes.
