Does presbyopia stop progressing?

08 Dec Does presbyopia stop progressing?

Presbyopia is the slow, but progressive loss of near vision due to the gradual hardening of the natural lens of the eye. This hardening irreversibly reduces the lens’ ability to change shape (accommodation).

It is surprising but we have all lost about 50% of our accommodation by age 30! But this does not usually become noticeable until much later: mid-40s or so. Most of the lens flexibility (and hence accommodation) is gone by our mid to late 50s. So it does not keep getting worse.
