There are many "growing up" moments that define our lives, starting with early moments like learning to ride a bike, the first day of school and getting behind the wheel. As we get older, we have bigger moments, college graduation, marriage and our first real job. All of these things are incredibly exciting because they start to define your life.

As you get further into middle age, there are still life-defining moments, but rather than opening up new worlds, they seem to have more rights of passage. The first head of grey hair, starting to take care of your parents, of course, these are signs that you may need glasses. At some point after you turn 40, you'll notice that you're holding your phone at arm's length and reading text messages. You'll notice that beautifully printed books become harder to read, and your eyes will feel tired after a long day on the computer.

If this sounds like something you're experiencing, chances are you're suffering from presbyopia, or the more common form of myopia. The blurry vision and inability to read closely is due to the eye's lens becoming less flexible with age, which makes it unable to focus on close objects.

While this may be disconcerting, it doesn't have to be, as with anything in life, it's a matter of embracing change with grace. Fortunately, it's easy to correct presbyopia by wearing a pair of reading glasses (also known as reading glasses). Don't worry, it's so common that, according to the Vision Council, more than 28 million people in the United States wear out-of-counter reading glasses to correct their vision.
