Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process. It happens due to the hardening of the eye lens causing the eye to focus light behind the retina when looking at close objects. It is a type of refractive error of the eye along with nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
This occurs due to the inability of Ciliary muscles to adjust and change focal length.
