Overview / Abstract: |
Target Audience Program Overview An estimated 110 million people in the United States have presbyopia. It is the most common visual impairment of the “baby boomer” generation (born between 1946 and 1964). Despite the prevalence of presbyopia, even in developed countries, around one-third of presbyopia remains untreated. If left uncorrected, presbyopia can affect both quality of vision and quality of life. Presbyopia can inhibit a person’s ability to perform tasks at a customary working distance without experiencing visual symptoms, even if those tasks were once performed effortlessly. If presbyopia is going to occur, it typically begins after age 40 and is progressive until around 65 years, when near focusing can be completely lost.
