Noone: Presbyopia is the term to describe aging of vision. It is an irreversible consequence of getting old, just like hearing loss or arthritis. Surgery is not indicated, as it does not rejuvenate the eyes as a result. Vision correction with glasses or other eyewear may be needed. I bet, you will find tons of info out there on "natural" vision correction, but nothing is of proven benefit.

For surgery, many factors need to be considered, such as type of procedure, age, prescription, and eye health. Be sure to discuss with your eye surgeon.
