What is the term for farsightedness associated with aging?

The term for farsightedness associated with aging is presbyopia. This condition typically occurs due to a gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus on near objects, which is linked to the natural aging process of the lens. As individuals age, the lens becomes less flexible, making it more challenging to accommodate, or focus on close-up tasks such as reading or sewing.

In contrast, myopia refers to nearsightedness, where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. Astigmatism is caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, leading to distorted vision at all distances. Hyperopia is a general term for farsightedness but does not specifically denote aging; it can occur at any age and is characterized by difficulty focusing on close objects.
