Presbyopia usually occurs beginning at around age 40, when people experience blurred near vision when reading, sewing or working at the computer.

You can't escape presbyopia, even if you've never had a vision problem before. Even people who are nearsighted will notice that their near vision blurs when they wear their usual eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct distance vision.

Presbyopia is caused by an age-related process. This differs from astigmatism, nearsightedness and farsightedness, which are related to the shape of the eyeball and are caused by genetic and environmental factors. Presbyopia generally is believed to stem from a gradual thickening and loss of flexibility of the natural lens inside your eye.

These age-related changes occur within the proteins in the lens, making the lens harder and less elastic over time. Age-related changes also take place in the muscle fibers surrounding the lens. With less elasticity, the eye has a harder time focusing up close. Other, less popular theories exist as well.

Eyeglasses with bifocal or progressive addition lenses (PALs) are the most common correction for presbyopia. Bifocal means two points of focus: the main part of the spectacle lens contains a prescription for distance vision, while the lower portion of the lens holds the stronger near prescription for close work.

Here are some home remedies that will help: Rinse the area with cold water each day. Then, take two slices of cucumbers and let them sit on your eyes for 20 minuetes. This will reduce the puffies and soothe tired eyes. * : Mix a few egg whites and apply under the eyes, can also add a drop of witch hazel. * You can also put tea bags on closed eyes. This feels good and enriches them. * Chill 4 spoons in icy water, then place 1 spoon on each eye, when you feel they are not cold enough replace them with the spoons in the glass, repeat until you see improvement * * Head to Walgreens to find undereye lotions. They have a WHOLE bunch! * Cut down on salt, this often causes puffy eyes. Also alcohol will cause this too. * Sleep with two or three pillows instead of one. This way the fluids won't gather around the eyes/ * Don't sleep with your face smashed in the pillow. This causes puffiness. * Don't rub your eyes. * Add a cold compress. This will help and soothe too. * Beat egg whites and apply under eyes. Then rinse after a few minutes.

A small firm lump under your skin at the base of your penis could be a cyst, but this should be confirmed with a doctor.

There is a number of things that cause your eyes to lose focus, it might just be an eye problem or it might be depression or a psychological problem, these have been known to cause lack of focus... it may also be an increased intra-cranial pressure...

If it's very sudden, and especially if you have another symptom such as weakness on one side of your body or difficulty speaking clearly, go to the emergency room right now.

If this is a gradual problem with your eyesight, definitely see an eye doctor.

Best guess is the onset of a migraine headache, although more detail would help (feel free to add to the Discussion section of this question). Has this happened before? Does it come and go? Anything new in your routine?

Not sure but would seek medical attention Immediately!!

ANSWER: Most likely lymph glands... If you had an abscessed tooth or severe acne/boil on one side of your lower face, the "poisons" would have drained into the anterior [front] cervical [neck] chain [they are grouped like a chain]. Lymph nodes [glands] grow to filter out toxins/poison in the lymphatic system, which is essentially the third 'circulatory' system of the body. If an enfection in located in one area of the body lymph nodes grow in direct relationship to the amount of toxin/poison in that area... Most nodes are deep within the body and cannot be felt. If the person affected has a severe viral infection then the nodes under the jaw can swell [grow]... If a child has an ear infection often he/she will develop swollen nodes behind the ear at the base of the skull... HOWEVER, if a person finds enlarging nodes under the jaw AND/or under the arms, the inside of the elbows, in the groin areas, then a physician needs to be consulted as this could mean other, possibly more serious conditions... Hope this helps!

Presbyopia is officially diagnosed during an eye examination conducted by eye specialists, such as optometrists or ophthalmologists.

Pupils constrict when an object is brought closer to the eyes, to help them focus properly on it. Also pupils constrict when hit by light, the brighter the light, the bigger the constriction. If an equal amount of light shines into both eyes, the degree of constriction is generally equal. However, if the light is directed primarily into one eye (i.e., with a flashlight), the pupil of that eye greatly constricts (direct reflex) while the pupil of the other eye shows a much smaller degree of constriction (consensual reflex).

Newer types of surgery are being done now to correct presbyopia .

Long term complications will be known only after many years.

Presbyopia is simple ageing process which requires glasses.

decreasing the flexibility of the lens with age

The inability to focus on close objects due to the ageing process. The crystalline lens loses its flexibility, and one has to hold reading material further away in order to focus. This results in the need for reading spectacles or contact lenses suitable prescribed.
