People tend to develop presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) as they get older. The person will lose the ability to focus on nearby objects. It usually happens after the age of 40. The reason is due to a gradual loss of flexibility in the lens inside your eye. Basically, the lens becomes harder and less elastic with aging. That's why people who have had good vision their entire lives may need bifocals or reading glasses as they get older.

You can expect it to change. It might get better but will more likely worsen. Mine got a little better as I was in my late '50's but has weakened some as I am going through my '60's. I may have to resort to reading glasses.
