A member asked:
Could nearsightedness lead to longsightedness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : What happens as one approaches middle age is the focusing power of your eye declines. So that people, even nearsighted ones, can have difficulty focusing at objects up close. This is called presbyopia. It is often confused with developing farsightedness--but the 2 conditions are different.
