Why do eyes go bad at 40?
Losing this focusing ability for near vision, called presbyopia, occurs because the lens inside the eye becomes less flexible. This flexibility allows the eye to change focus from objects that are far away to objects that are close.
Is it safe to wear contact lenses everyday?
