"My Arms Are Too Short"! Or...what is presbyopia?
Presbyopia means "old eyes" and is a normal part of the aging process. When you notice your "arms are too short" to read and do close work, you may be experiencing presbyopia.
The crystalline lens of the eye is flexible when you are younger and as you age, it becomes harder and less flexible. As you approach your 40's and through your mid-50's you may notice your close vision becoming gradually worse and, for those who wear eyeglasses, it may necessitate bifocals or progressive lenses. For those who haven't worn eyeglasses previously, it may be time for reading glasses.
