When we are over 40 years old, our eye adjustment ability will slowly deteriorate because of age, refractive state will also change with age, making us timely distance inside closer, still can not see things clearly, this time often need to wear a pair of presbyopic glasses. Most people think that people who are nearsighted when they are young or old will not get presbyopia again. So, is this thinking correct? In fact, this is not a scientific statement. Let’s learn more about how myopia and presbyopia can both exist at the same time. People who have had myopia are just as likely to have presbyopia as people who do not have myopia. The only difference is that people with myopia develop presbyopia a little later, and presbyopia does not have as much of an impact on the daily reading of newspapers. The main reason for this phenomenon is that myopic patients can see more clearly when they are not wearing glasses, and the near point of myopia is closer than that of orthokeratology. Although the near point of myopia will also gradually move backwards as the patient gets older, it will still affect near vision for a longer period of time. Therefore people who are nearsighted tend to develop presbyopia later than people who are not nearsighted. Presbyopia is also an eye disease that occurs as we age. Presbyopia is the exact opposite of nearsightedness and usually occurs in people around the age of 40. People with presbyopia have no way to see objects clearly at close range, especially reading newspapers, which is difficult, so it is common to see people with presbyopia reading newspapers and having to hold them up far away to see them. With the increasing age, probably after 40 years old, the adjustment ability of the eyes will be gradually weakened because of age, the refractive power of the eyes will also change according to our age, at this time, even if we see things at a distance that is not too far, but there will be unable to see things clearly, when this happens, we need to use presbyopic glasses. So, don’t make the mistake of thinking that people who are nearsighted won’t get presbyopia anymore. In fact, nearsighted people may still develop presbyopia when they reach the age of about 40, but when myopic people reach old age, the myopia of their youth will replace some or all of the presbyopia. Nearsightedness usually allows you to see clearly at close distances, but it is more difficult to see at long distances, so presbyopia can easily be masked, and presbyopia will appear later. Therefore, people who are nearsighted when they are young are not easily detected when they develop presbyopia.
