📋Overview
This condition occurs as a normal part of the aging process and is linked to physiological changes in the eye's lens. Over time, the lens loses its natural elasticity, which diminishes the accommodative function necessary for maintaining clear vision at near distances.
As these structural changes progress, the eye's internal mechanisms become less efficient at adjusting focus for tasks such as reading or detailed work. This shift is a widely recognized clinical development that typically becomes noticeable as individuals age.
