What is the inability of the eyes to focus close up as a result of the aging process known as?

Myopia
Hyperopia
Presbyopia
Astigmatism

The correct answer is: Presbyopia

The condition where the eyes have difficulty focusing on close objects as a result of aging is known as presbyopia. This natural part of the aging process typically begins to affect individuals around their 40s and progresses as they get older. Presbyopia occurs because the lens of the eye becomes less flexible, making it harder to change shape to focus on near objects. In contrast, myopia refers to nearsightedness, where distant objects appear blurry while close objects are clear, which is not related to the aging process. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a condition where distant objects may be seen more clearly than close ones, and while it can be present in younger individuals, it's not specifically tied to aging like presbyopia. Astigmatism is a distortion of vision caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, affecting both near and distant vision, and is not exclusively associated with the aging process. Thus, presbyopia specifically addresses the age-related inability to focus on close objects effectively.
