Between the ages of 40 and 45, the lenses in the eyes of the aver age person normally become so in elastic that it is no longer possible for the eyes to accommodate for the near point. This change in vision, known by the Latin word "presbyopia," meaning "old sight," marks the decline of the ability of the eyes readily to adjust them selves to near and far seeing. It is popularly believed that the proach of presbyopia, which pushes out the point of near-seeing, the degree of near-sightedness lessens. However, this change usu ally is less than one diopter, so that persons with corrections of three or four diopters cannot do' without visual assistance. Most persons with normal eyes after the age of 45 require visual correction for reading and other similar close work. The point of pear vision recedes from the eyes and a book must be held farther away for clear vision. The stiffen ing of the lenses cf the eyes is a normal, natural process.
