Presbyopia is the age-related loss of flexibility in the lens of the eye, which makes it difficult to focus on near objects. This is why older adults often need reading glasses or bifocals. Hyperopia (farsightedness) and myopia (nearsightedness) are typically not age-related and can affect individuals of any age. Accommodation refers to the ability of the lens to change shape to focus on objects at different distances and can be affected by presbyopia but is not the specific term associated with the age-related changes in vision mentioned in the question.
