Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presbyopia is a condition where there is a reduction in the ability of the eye to accommodate due to the loss of elasticity of the lens, which makes it more difficult to focus on near objects. It typically begins around the age of 40 and progresses with age. A lack of a cone type (A) is not relevant to presbyopia. Visual difficulty in the early teenage years (B) is more indicative of myopia or nearsightedness, and retinal damage (D) is not necessarily directly related to presbyopia.
