MIDDLE-AGE EYES
With aging often comet a refractive (focusing) error of the eyes
known a* PRESBYOPIA. This usually comes after the age of forty
and is due to the gradual loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens of
the eye. As the lens loses its flexibility, one has more and more
difficulty focusing on neorby objects.
You'll know your eyes are "getting old" if your arms seem too short
when you read, or if you have trouble performing close-up tasks
like threading a needle. Presbyopia will occur in addition to the
"Big Three" refractive errors - myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism
-- but pure presbyopes only require a correction during close-up
tasks.
Presbyopia has a way of sneaking up on people -- like middte-oge -
- but if you find the poge blurring or the eye of the needle disap
pearing, it's time to visit your eye care specialist. Refractive errors
such as presbyopia can easily be corrected with eyeglasses or con
tact lenses .
