My vision is too blurry to read without getting those drugstore magnifying glasses. what could be the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Presbyopia: Most people over 40 begin to loose the flexibility of the lens of the eye that allows adjustments in its shape for near vs far vision. That leads to the need for magnification for close vision. It could certainly be something else, but this is the most common reason.
