Presbyopia is a condition in which the ability to adjust the eyes decreases, making it difficult to see things up close. In general, it’s related to age. Most people begin to experience a gradual decline in vision when they’re 40 years old, especially their ability to see close objects, and their vision gets blurred.
Lin Mingyu, director of Yuqun Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taiwan, mentioned in an article that when people enter middle age, most will face the problem of presbyopia and vision degeneration. In order to prevent, delay, and reduce presbyopia, it’s recommended to eat more high-lutein foods, such as papaya and corn, and exercise regularly. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can also provide a form of treatment.
