Around age 40 to 45, patients will find their near vision (reading a book or using a smart phone) gradually becoming more blurry.

Presbyopia is a natural process that occurs as patients get older. The clear crystalline lens inside our eye gradually becomes less flexible. This means we cannot focus on details up close as we did when we were younger. There is no way available to reverse this natural aging process.
