Vision due to old age?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Presbyopia: Most people have trouble focussing closely as they get older. Changes in vision from cataracts and/or macular degeneration are also very common. Any sudden change in vision should be evaluated promptly since all of the above occur gradually.

Presbyopia: We lose the ability to change the focus of the eye as we age. This is caused of loss of the elasticity of the lens of the eye. We do not currently have a way to stop or reverse this process.
