Ophthalmologist Angelina Kazantseva reported that presbyopia is common among people over the age of 40 and can be corrected using near vision glasses and multifocal contact lenses.
According to her, this change is normal and one of the most common age-related changes, as the eye's lens loses its elasticity and becomes more rigid with age. Those affected may notice that text becomes blurry, especially in dim light, and they may have difficulty reading small print. Dry eyes are also a common age-related change, as the tear glands begin to produce less tear over time.
She said: "This is due to hormonal changes, especially in women during the premenopausal period. This is normal, but it requires immediate correction using moisturizing eye drops to avoid corneal damage."
The doctor pointed out that vitreous opacities become more noticeable with age, so people over the age of forty usually complain of an increased number of floaters in their field of vision.
