	Presbyopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Presbyopia is the eye's diminished power of accommodation that occurs with aging.
		Presbyopia is not a disease as such, but a condition that affects everyone at a certain age.
		Presbyopia is not routinely cureable, though tentative steps towards a possible cure suggest that this may not be impossible, but the loss of focusing ability can be compensated for by corrective lenses including eyeglasses or contact lenses.

	Presbyopia: Definition, Symptoms, and Treatment - Kellogg Eye Center
		Presbyopia (aging of the lens in the eye and the muscles that control the shape of the lens) commonly occurs after age 40, when the lens of the eye becomes more rigid and does not flex as easily.
		Presbyopia is a refractive error, which results from a disorder rather than from disease.
		Presbyopia is commonly treated using corrective lenses, such as eyeglasses or contact lenses.

	Presbyopia
		The term presbyopia means "old eye" and is a vision condition involving the loss of the eye's ability to focus on close objects.
		Presbyopia is a condition that occurs as a part of normal aging and is not considered to be an eye disease.
		Presbyopia is officially diagnosed during an eye examination conducted by eye specialists, such as optometrists or ophthalmologists.

		Presbyopia may seem to occur suddenly, but the actual loss of flexibility takes place over a number of years.
		Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process of the eye.
		Since the effects of presbyopia continue to change the ability of the crystalline lens to focus properly, periodic changes in your eyewear may be necessary to maintain clear and comfortable vision.

	OTM
		Presbyopia is a term we use to describe the condition in which a patient's amplitude of accommodation has decreased to the point where clear or comfortable vision at the desired nearpoint is not obtainable.
		Presbyopia generally occurs when the patient's amplitude of accommodation is less than 5 D. At this point the patient is required to use more than half their amplitude of accommodation at the near point.
		The correction of presbyopia requires the application of plus lenses in addition to the refractive correction at distance, determined as the lens power which yields clear and comfortable vision at the near point.

	Presbyopia
		Presbyopia means "age of sight." It is not the same thing as farsightedness.

	[No title]
		Presbyopia is the fancy medical term for aging eyes.
		Once a person passed the age of 45 years, the ability to accommodate, that is, see both at near (for reading) and far (for driving and everything else), begins to diminish.
		Surgeons are also experimenting with a number of approaches that involve making incisions in the sclera (the white of the eye), often accompanied by the insertion of small pieces of plastic called scleral expansion bands.

	Information on presbyopia and related eye problems at MedicineNet.com
		Presbyopia is part of the natural aging process of the eye, and can be easily corrected.
		Technically, presbyopia is the loss of the eye's ability to change its focus to see objects that are near.
		Contact lenses used to treat presbyopia include multifocal lenses, which come in soft or gas permeable versions, and monovision lens, in which one eye wears a lens that aids in seeing objects at a distance, while the other has a lens that aids in near vision.

	Presbyopia - AllAboutVision.com
		This is different from astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness, which are related to the shape of the eyeball and caused by genetic factors, disease, or trauma.
		Presbyopia is generally believed to stem from a gradual loss of flexibility in the natural lens inside your eye.
		Another type of contact lens correction for presbyopia is monovision, in which one eye wears a distance prescription, and the other wears a prescription for near vision.

		Presbyopia may not be noticed in a myopic person because the need for accommodation is diminished by the myopia.
		The lens may be unable to accommodate, but since the lens is already focused for close vision and the corrective lenses take care of the myopia, the lack of accommodation is not so well noticed.
