In most people, the onset of presbyopia generally does not take place until after the age of 45. However, due to longer hours spent in front of the computer, many are developing the condition before the age of 40.

If you need to hold reading material farther away from your eyes to see it clearly, or you may need to squint to read small print, or to use brighter light when reading, you may be suffering from presbyopia.

While presbyopia generally strikes people over the age of 45, doctors say that more and more people are developing the condition in their 30s due to excessive time spent in front of computers without rests.

According to experts, taking breaks and resting the eyes regularly throughout the day can prevent the early onset of the condition.
