Why does vision blur at near distances in presbyopia, despite sufficient light?

💡 Explanation

Presbyopia causes blurry near vision because the ciliary muscle weakens with age, reducing its ability to contract and increase lens curvature for focusing on close objects. Therefore, the lens cannot accommodate, rather than the retina or lens transparency being the primary issues.
