PRESS PYOBIA
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes’ ability to focus on nearby objects. It’s a natural, often annoying part of aging. Presbyopia usually becomes noticeable in your early to mid-40s and continues to worsen until around age 65.
Presbyopia is an eye condition in which your eye slowly loses the ability to focus quickly on objects that are close. It’s a disorder that affects everyone during the natural aging process.
SYMPTOMPS
The most common symptoms of presbyopia occur around age 40 for most people. The symptoms of presbyopia typically involve a gradual deterioration in your ability to read or do work up close.
Common symptoms of presbyopia are:
- having eyestrain or headaches after reading or doing close work
- having difficulty reading small print
- having fatigue from doing close work
- needing brighter lighting when reading or doing close work
- needing to hold reading material at an arm’s distance to focus properly on it
- overall problems seeing and focusing on objects that are close to you
- squinting
CAUSES
- When you’re young, the lens in your eye is flexible and relatively elastic. It can change its length or shape with the help of a ring of tiny muscles that surround it.
- The muscles that surround your eye can easily reshape and adjust your lens to accommodate both close and distant images.
- With age, your lens loses flexibility and begins to stiffen. As a result, your lens becomes unable to change shape and constricts to focus on close images.
- With this hardening of your lens, your eye gradually loses its ability to focus light directly onto your retina.
RISK FACTOR
- Age. Age is the greatest risk factor for presbyopia. Almost everyone experiences some degree of presbyopia after age 40.
- Other medical conditions. Being farsighted or having certain diseases — such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis or cardiovascular diseases — can increase your risk of premature presbyopia, which is presbyopia in people younger than 40.
- Drugs. Certain drugs are associated with premature presbyopic symptoms, including antidepressants, antihistamines and diuretics.
COMPLICATION
Presbyopia can occur in combination with:
- astigmatism, which is an imperfection in the curvature of your cornea that causes blurred vision
- hyperopia, or farsightedness
- myopia, or nearsightedness
It’s also possible to have a different type of eye problem in each eye.
