presbükoosia
Presbükoosia is the age-related loss of the eye's ability to focus on close objects. It is a natural and progressive condition that typically begins to affect people in their early to mid-40s and continues to worsen over time. The primary cause of presbükoosia is the hardening of the lens within the eye. Over the years, the lens loses its elasticity, making it more difficult for the ciliary muscles to change its shape. These muscles are responsible for adjusting the lens to focus light on the retina, allowing us to see objects at varying distances.
As the lens becomes less flexible, its ability to accommodate, or change focus, diminishes. This results
Presbükoosia is not a disease but a normal part of aging. It affects virtually everyone, regardless
