Solution 1
Presbyopia is an age-old eye defect. In this condition, the lens loses flexibility resulting in far-sightedness.
Cataract is also very common in old people, the cornea becomes opaque and the vision is cut down even to blindness.
Solution 2
Hypermetropia. It is caused due to flattening of the eye lens (Also presbyopia in which lens looses flexibility).
