Presbyopia meaning "old person" describes the state where the eye exhibits an increasingly diminished capability to focus on near objects with age.
Symptoms of Presbyopia –
Most people start having trouble reading fine print, above all in low light conditions, eyestrain when reading for long periods, blur at near or temporarily blurred vision when transitioning between viewing distances. Many advanced presbyopes complain that their arms have become "too short" to hold reading material at a comfortable distance.

Why wear sunglasses?
Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been associated with the development of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Quality sunglasses protect your eyes by blocking 100 percent of the sun's harmful UV rays. Sunglasses also protect the delicate skin around the eyes from UV rays that cause wrinkles and premature aging.
