Eductional Objective: Presbyopia and skin wrinkles are age-related changes.  Presbyopia occurs due to denaturation of structural proteins within the lens, leading to loss of lens elasticity which can result in improved vision in patients with mild myopia.  Decreased synthesis and increased breakdown of collagen and elastin contribute to the development of skin wrinkles.
