Need to hold reading materials at arm's length
Causes of Presbyopia
During the early age the eye’s lens is mostly flexible and elastic. This helps the eyes to easily change shape with the help of surrounding muscles and thereby helps to focus on near and distant objects.
As you age, the lens starts getting harder and loses its flexibility, making it difficult to adjust and focus on close images. This hardening deforms the eye’s ability to focus light directly onto the retina, leading to presbyopia.
Hypermetropia (Farsightedness) vs. Presbyopia
Hypermetropia (Farsightedness): Hypermetropia, or farsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects are seen more clearly than close ones. This condition occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea has too little curvature, causing light to focus behind the retina. People with hypermetropia may experience blurry vision for nearby tasks, eyestrain, and headaches. It can be present at birth and may be corrected with prescription glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
Presbyopia: Presbyopia is an age-related condition where the eye’s lens loses its elasticity, making it difficult to focus on close objects. This typically begins in the early to mid-40s and progresses with age. Unlike hypermetropia, presbyopia affects everyone as they age, regardless of their visual history. Symptoms include difficulty reading small print, needing brighter light for close work, and holding reading materials at arm’s length. Presbyopia can be managed with proper diagnosis, ayurvedic medication and following a healthy lifestyle as suggested by Ayurvedic experts .
Key Differences:
- Cause: Hypermetropia is a structural issue of the eye present from birth, while presbyopia is due to the natural aging process of the lens.
- Onset: Hypermetropia can be present at any age, whereas presbyopia typically starts in the early 40s.
- Symptoms: Both conditions cause difficulty with near vision, but hypermetropia may also affect distant vision if severe, while presbyopia primarily affects near vision.
- Correction: Hypermetropia can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Presbyopia management includes reading glasses, bifocals, multifocals, or surgical procedures.
Understanding these differences helps in choosing the appropriate corrective measures for maintaining optimal vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Age: The most significant risk factor is that everyone experiences some degree of presbyopia after age 40.
- Family history: If presbyopia runs in your family, your risk of developing it is higher.
- Certain medical conditions like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or cardiovascular diseases may increase the risk.
- Medications: Some medications, such as antidepressants, antihistamines, and diuretics, may exacerbate presbyopia symptoms.
Presbyopia can significantly affect daily tasks that require close vision, such as reading, sewing, or using a smartphone. It can also lead to eye strain or headaches after prolonged close-up work.
