When the arms of your eyes are longer than your actual arms
Short arms are a real problem for thousands of people around the world who suffer from presbyopia. If you are over 40 and you have to hold the latest James Patterson thriller at arm’s length to see the words, then you most likely have this condition. Presbyopia gradually causes the natural lens of the eye to thicken and lose its flexibility over time. The condition gets progressively worse with age and while there is no cure for it, you can swing by your local optometrist to get yourself a nifty pair of reading glasses or multifocal lenses.
It is very important to have your eyes checked regularly for all forms of degeneration, especially as you get older. Presbyopia can cause headaches and visual fatigue as well as eye strain, all of which will make the whole experience that much more uncomfortable. Therefore, the sooner you start wearing corrective lenses, the better.
