As over time the cornea stiffens which means light rays are not focused on the retina. You will find it hard to see things up close but can get glasses. Another cause is that the muscles (ciliary muscles) around the eye grow weaker as age progresses this means the eye finds it hard to adjust to different distances, this can strain your eyes and cause headaches.

How many genes do chimpanzees have on their chromosomes?
It would be very likely that chimpanzees have about as many genes as we humans have, which was found to be about 22 thousand. It could potentially increase, but with our techniques getting better and better, it would not increase very much. For example, it wouldn't increase from the year 2012's numbers to 40 thousand in one jump. It'd probably stay near 20-25 thousand. Genes account for about 1% of our total genome. Genes code for proteins. Genome consists of much more than just genes, for example pseudogenes. Genes is a misused term in our media. The reason I say that chimpanzees will have about as many genes as we do is because genes are a more important part of our genome. Changing genes occurs slower over time than the changing of the other parts of the genome because they are more sensitive. That is not to say that the other parts of the genome cannot be as sensitive, just that certain genes especially are more sensitive than other parts. Take for example a bridge. Let's say we built a bridge, but we started with green bricks at the bottom. We then used red bricks at the top of the bridge. If we changed these green bricks at the bottom, it'd probably mess up the entire bridge, whereas if we only messed with the red bricks at the top of the bridge, the infrustructure would not crumble. This is only one of the reasons that some genes are more sensitive than others, and in general more sensitive than some other parts of the genome. I said way too much! -Thomas the bio guy
How can you get a spindly 12-inch tall Sensitive plant to be more bushy?
We call it the TickleMe Plant. Pinch back to a lower set of leaves. The best place to pinch back is the two sets of leaves above an already existing branching. This will force it to send out more branches. It may look a little unsightly at first but the results will be worth it. We found it helpful to put a plastic bag over the plant to improve the humidity around the plant. For additional information go to the source: The Sensitive Plant-Growing the Mimosa-That MOVES When You Tickle It!-The TickleMe Plant Book-Your Complete FUN Guide - which is found online and will be helpful to anyone who is growing this plant.
