Presbyopia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Presbyopia is a vision condition that comes with age, in which the eye gradually loses the ability to focus on nearby objects.
How it presents: Difficulty reading up close, the need to hold text farther away to see it clearly, or eye strain after a while of reading.
Why it happens: It is related to natural changes in the eye's lens over time.
Which specialist assesses it? The ophthalmologist is the one who examines vision and provides guidance about presbyopia; when focusing up close becomes uncomfortable, a review with a vision professional helps clarify the picture.
