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.
- noun - A reduced ability to focus on near objects caused by loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens after age 45
