The Effect of Age on the Eye

A summary from Chambers' Journal explains how the eye’s lens loses convexity with age. At 10 years the lens can focus objects three inches away, at 21 about four and a half inches, and by 60 the near focus drops to about twenty six inches. By 75 the eye can only see far, with parallel rays converging but near objects blurred unless light travels in parallel.
