Hyperopia
Long-sightedness or hyperopia is a common condition that affects the ability to focus. In a long-sighted eye the light focuses behind the retina, blurring the image. If it is significant long-sightedness can cause vision problems, headaches and tiredness. Glasses, contact lenses and laser techniques are used to correct long-sightedness. -

PCT got it right... anything with presby in front comes with old age...Originally posted by poon cho tang:presbyopia, occuring with old age
Presbyopia
This refers to a progressive reduction in the eyeÂ’s ability to focus, which leads to a consequent difficulty in reading at the normal distance.
It usually starts at middle-age, and is due to age-related loss of elasticity of the lens.
Presbyacusis
For this, it refers to progressive impairment of hearing that occurs with aging, especially as regards to high-frequency sounds (degeneration or more rather, the loss of hair cells in the cochlear comes with age and cumulative trauma from high pitched sounds). -
