(The Best Years in Life) A number of conditions can lead to poor vision and eye health, including near-sightedness, far-sightedness, macular degeneration, presbyopia, glaucoma, astigmatism and cataracts. As we age, we become increasingly susceptible to many of those problems. However, contrary to popular mainstream dogma, such conditions can be prevented and often even successfully reversed.

The most common vision robbing eye problems are:
Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a defect of vision caused by an imperfection in the eye, such as the eyeball being too short or the lens not being round enough. Hyperopia causes difficulty to focus on near objects and, in extreme cases, may result in the inability to focus on objects at any distance.
Myopia is the term for near-sightedness and is caused by a focusing defect in the eye which makes far-away objects appear to be blurred. This is due to the focus point being a bit outside the eye lens.
Presbyopia, which literally means “old eye”, describes an inability to focus on close objects and is caused by loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens with advancing age.
Macular degeneration is a vision robbing disorder that increases with age. The disorder damages the center of the retina, which is called the macula, and makes it difficult to see fine details. Eventually it can result in blurring of the central vision. Notably, macular degeneration is a common problem among diabetics.
