Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accommodation of the eye, or its ability to focus on near objects, begins to decline significantly around age 40 and continues to decline through the age of 59. This is due to a gradual loss of flexibility in the eye's lens over time. While some decline may start to occur in the 30s, it is not as significant as it is in the 40s and 50s. By age 60, most people experience a significant decline in accommodation ability.
