Presbyopia - An Inevitability

It is a pleasure and a privilege to come your way once again today with another one of our lessons on health and general well-being. Before we zoom in to today's discussions we would like to know that you our dear readers, supporters and loved ones are doing well as always.

Today's discussion is an interesting one, we are going to have a short discussion on a condition known as presbyopia. It is an interesting one because this condition is basically inevitable, unlike Thanos who could still be vanquished despite his long game to an end game. We do hope you enjoy the read and that you also have an amazing time.

So presbyopia is a state or condition of the eye where the eye is no longer able to focus well on near objects as a result of senile degeneration of accommodative function. Senile because this same happening may occur in a young child or a young adult and i would be categorized as accommodative insufficiency.

So what really happen in presbyopia? As we grow we loss our ability to cause our lenses to become more convex and thus increase in power to enable us see nearer objects more clearly. About the age of 40 the deterioration becomes sufficient enough such that without the support with lenses one cannot read smaller prints unless they push it farther.

Now the reason why we said this was an inevitability is due to the fact that everyone grows and everyone experiences senility. So long as you are growing that accommodative ability will reduce overtime and eventually presbyopia will catch with you and unless you decide that you will not bother with near work or reading ever again, you will need those glasses.

The good news however is that this is not any serious condition that should get you worried, you do not require any medication or drugs or surgery etc and even if you decide to no bother with near work you can even quite on those glasses but do not force yourself to see because you do not want glasses, the end results will be ocular pain, headache and other asthenopic symptoms.

So there you have it, presbyopia is simple, it has a simple solution as well and fortunately or unfortunately none of us can escape it, we all will have to dance to its tune or fact that music one of these days, but until then, enjoy your vision to the fullest and do well to take good care of yourself.
