●      Nearsightedness (myopia) is the condition that makes it difficult to see distant objects.

 Presbyopia is a condition where there is a gradual loss of the eye's ability on nearby objects. The situation becomes apparent after the age of 40.

A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens. This condition is the most common cause of vision loss in people over 40. It is treated with surgery and an intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Computer vision syndrome. The condition is caused by excessive electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and tablets. Symptoms include eye strain, dry and red eyes, blurred vision, light sensitivity, headaches, and pain in the shoulders, neck, and back.
