It’s not easy being this side of 40
You’ve probably noticed your vision has started to change. Don’t panic, it happens to the best of us. It happens to all of us. The only way to dodge presbyopia is to die young. And that’s not a preferred method.
Do you find yourself holding your phone out at arm’s length?
There’s a good reason why. Presbyopia makes it harder for your eyes to focus close up. As we get older, the nearest point we can focus on gets further and further away, until we find ourselves squinting and having to hold the newspaper at arm’s length.
Even if you’ve had twenty-twenty vision all your life, as the birthdays pile up, you will experience some form of vision-related trouble for the first time.
