Presbyopia
During middle age, usually beginning in the 40s, people experience blurred vision at near points, such as when reading, sewing or working at the computer. There's no getting around it — this happens to everyone at some point in life, even those who have never had a vision problem before.

D. Presbyopia
The lens isn't as elastic as it was when the person was younger. That makes it harder and harder to focus.
I really resented it when this happened to me!
