Presbyopia is an eye condition that makes it harder to focus on objects close to you. This usually happens within a few years of your fortieth birthday, but can happen at any point in your life. If you are already quite near-sighted, you may not notice presbyopia until you are much older. Presbyopia is also known as age-related farsightedness or long-sightedness. Objects that are far away are easier to focus on, but objects closer to your face may become blurry or smeary.
