Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presbyopia is the loss of ability to see close objects or small print due to aging. It typically occurs in individuals over the age of 40 and continues to progress as they age. The closest distance at which a person with presbyopia can focus on objects gradually increases, often reaching 100 cm or more by the age of 60. Cataracts, on the other hand, cause cloudy vision and can lead to vision loss, but do not affect the ability to focus on nearby objects. Dermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that removes dead skin cells, and is unrelated to vision.
