Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a big, grown-up problem that happens to people when they get older. It means that their eyes become less good at seeing things up close, like when they read a book or look at a phone screen.

When you're young, the lens in your eye is nice and flexible, like a rubber band. That helps you focus on things that are close up or far away. But as you get older, your lens becomes more like a piece of rope that can't bend as easily. So when you try to read something, your lens can't change shape enough to make the letters look clear.

Fortunately, there are ways to fix presbyopia. One way is to wear glasses or contact lenses that make things appear clearer up close. Another option is to have surgery to put a special lens in your eye that can help you focus better on close objects.

Just remember, presbyopia is just a normal part of getting older, and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with your eyes.
