From the age of 40 onwards, many people start to notice their eyesight deteriorating, often requiring glasses to correct their vision.
Our eyes' inability to focus is as a result of the hardening of the lens and the weakening of the eye muscles that happens as we get older. The ability to focus depends on the ability of the lens to change shape, and the weakening of the muscles makes this more restricted with age.
It can be a troublesome time and condition for many people, who perhaps have been used to seeing perfectly normally for the majority of their life.
Luckily there are many products available on the market that can make failing eyesight more easy to cope with, and help people continue to live their lives in a happy and independent way.
