• Presbyopia is a term used to describe an eye which has lost it's natural focusing power (accomodation).
• Accommodation is the eye's way of changing its focusing distance: the lens inside the eye changes shape to allow us to focus on nearby objects.
• At about the age of 40, the lens becomes less flexible and accommodation is gradually lost.
• Presbyopia is a natural, universal and unavoidable ageing process that will affect everyone.

• Difficulty seeing small print at a close distance.

• Print seems to have less contrast and brighter, more direct
  light is required for reading.

• Reading material must be held further away to see.

• Slow focusing from a distant target to a nearby target.

• Fatigue and eyestrain when reading.
