Whether you suffer from myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or have normal vision, as you grow older, you will be affected by a problem of vision common to everyone: presbyopia.
Presbyopia corresponds to a loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens (loss of accommodation). After a certain age, the crystalline lens is no longer able to adjust its curvature to different distances. The most common solution, from the ages of 40-45, is the prescription of eyeglasses. This prescription could be earlier if you suffer from hyperopia. Progressive lenses are often used by patients who have a distant vision defect so that they don’t have to constantly switch between their glasses.
