Presbyopia
Definition:
() A defect of vision consequent upon advancing age. It is due to rigidity of the crystalline lens, which produces difficulty of accommodation and recession of the near point of vision, so that objects very near the eyes can not be seen distinctly without the use of convex glasses. Called also presbytia.
Example Sentences:
(1) The most common eye disease are cataract, refractive error and presbyopia, and diseases of the conjunctiva and sclera.

(4) Both the decrease in retinal illumination and the presbyopia accounted for only a trivial proportion of the acuity loss.
(5) Detailed understanding of these mechanisms and the environmental, dietary, and behavioural factors that may influence the development of presbyopia will require controlled studies and, in some cases, invasive experimental manipulations that can only be achieved through the use of an animal model.
(6) Diagnostic standards have a big practical importance in the ophthalmological geriatrics above all in glaucoma, apart from the presbyopia, which depends to the age in a big way.
