What is Presbyopia (reading blur) and how can you fight it?

By banderas

Presbyopia (reading blur) is a condition of the eyes in which close visual acuity is lost due to the stiffening of the lens and the ciliary muscle. (This is the circular muscle around the lens that causes it to change shape to see clearly at different distances.) Presbyopia describes the condition where the eye exhibits a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects with age. It is also known as reading blur.
Presbyopia is caused by aging and symptoms are usually first noticed about the age of 40. Presbyopia is a natural process which causes difficulties reading small print. It can even cause eyestrain and blurred vision when changing your viewing distance. People who suffer from reading blur usually must hold their reading material at arms length to be able to read properly or they may feel fatigued or have a headache when performing near work, such as embroidery or handwriting.
The lens inside your eye is just losing its flexibility. Presbyopia just seem to occur suddenly but actually it is a process which lasts for years.

Other possible side effects of corrective laser eye surgery are: glare, dry eyes, difficulty driving at night, seeing halos around images, and fluctuating vision.
