A refractive error is an eye condition where light cannot properly focus on the retina, due to changes in its shape, surface, or curvature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both conditions affect your vision. However, they are completely different from each other in terms of age of onset, cause, and treatment options.

An individual with myopia typically has trouble reading from far away, seeing distant objects while driving, or recognising faces from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happens as the light entering the eye does not focus on the retina; instead, it focuses in front of the retina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myopia_Causes\"><\/span>Myopia Causes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a result of changes in eye shape, especially the length. Myopia generally develops in childhood or the teenage years, and the eye power may continue to increase until the early 20s. Another major cause of myopia is genetic predisposition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, myopia is more common than ever, owing to reduced outdoor activity and a substantial surge in screen use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Presbyopia\"><\/span>What is Presbyopia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Presbyopia is a common age-related refractive error that makes it difficult to see nearby objects clearly. People typically start noticing symptoms after 40 years of age. With this condition, reading fine print, phone use, and threading needles, etc., become increasingly difficult because nearby objects appear blurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presbyopia_Causes\"><\/span>Presbyopia Causes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Presbyopia develops as the natural lens becomes less flexible with ageing. Reduced lens flexibility results in an inability to easily adjust for near vision. Presbyopia is a natural part of growing older, and almost everyone gets affected by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_Between_Myopia_and_Presbyopia\"><\/span>Difference Between Myopia and Presbyopia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s a concise look at the difference between myopia and presbyopia:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>DIFFERENCE<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>MYOPIA<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>PRESBYOPIA<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Vision<\/strong><\/td><td>Unclear distance vision<\/td><td>Unclear near vision<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Age of onset<\/strong><\/td><td>Typically develops in childhood\/teenage<\/td><td>Typically develops after 40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Cause<\/strong><\/td><td>Changes in eye shape<\/td><td>Natural lens ageing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Correction options<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>&#8211;
