What is the cause of Presbyopia?

Solution
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects. It is caused by an age-related process. Presbyopia
generally is believed to grow from a gradual thickening and loss of flexibility
of the natural lens inside human eye. These
age-related changes occur within the proteins in the lens, making the lens harder
and thus it loses its elasticity over time.
The most common correction for Presbyopia is the use of
eyeglasses with bifocal lens.
