What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is the inability to focus over a range of vision. It’s often confused with farsightedness, but they are not the same conditions. Presbyopia is a natural loss of flexibility of the lens that comes with age. Farsightedness is an abnormal short eye shape that causes light to bend incorrectly after it enters the eye. Presbyopia is treated with corrective lenses (“cheater” eyeglasses).
