Presbyopia is an eye condition that makes it harder to focus on objects close to you. This usually happens within a few years of your fortieth birthday, but can happen at any point in your life. If you are already quite near-sighted, you may not notice presbyopia until you are much older. Presbyopia is also known as age-related farsightedness or long-sightedness. Objects that are far away are easier to focus on, but objects closer to your face may become blurry or smeary.

The condition is caused by an eye that is shorter than normal, or a cornea that's not as curved as it should be.
