Presbyopia is not truly nearsitedness, it is the lost ability to focus eyes as you get older. It is what causes a lot of people in their 40s and 50s to have to hold things far away to be able to read.
Also, presbyopia has nothing to do with glaucoma, as it is not a disease, merely an inevitable part of aging.

I think people with presbyopia misread the word and think it's spelled "preshyopia".
"Preshyopia" only appears in some foreign language websites and is cited as one of the wrong spellings of the word, "presbyopia". In every context that the word "preshyopia" is found, it has the same meaning as "presbyopia".

Presbyopia is nearsightedness. Preshyopia is associated with glaucoma either acute or chronic.
