Presbyopia is a natural and universal age-related change in vision, typically becoming noticeable in adults around their early to mid-40s.
It is a completely normal part of aging, not a disease, and affects nearly everyone eventually, even those who have had perfect distance vision their entire lives.
It occurs because the lens inside the eye gradually becomes stiffer and less elastic as we age. This loss of flexibility makes it harder for the eye's muscles to change the lens's shape, which is necessary to focus light clearly onto the retina, especially for near objects.
You might recognize it when you find yourself holding menus, books, or your phone at arm's length to read them. Experiencing eye strain, fatigue, or headaches during close-up work. Needing brighter light to read small print.
LENSEEK Progressive lenses (also called varifocal lenses) are the most modern and convenient solution because they effectively restore the eye's ability to focus at multiple distances, mimicking the function of a younger eye.
