People in their forties to fifties seem to lose vision; the lenses of the eyes become hard and the ability to focus becomes worse. Causes are generally aging, perhaps heredity. Women going through menopause can experience farsightedness too. Poor nutrition and drug side effects may contribute to this aging phenomenon. Vision changes vary from person to person; those who are nearsighted can become partially farsighted. Many people use glasses, change prescriptions frequently, or using reading glasses as well as bifocals.<\/p>\n
From the natural perspective, we want to prevent aging by eating healthy, consuming antioxidants in foods and supplements. Starting early, like in your thirties, is the key.<\/p>\n
