How is presbyopia prevented?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Currently impossible: This is a natural age related hardening of the lens of the eye. It cannot be prevented by any currently known method (just as grey hair cannot be prevented). Your ophthalmologist can help you with advice and devices to compensate.
