What condition describes the inability to read fine print?

Hyperopia
Myopia
Presbyopia
Emmetropia

The correct answer is: Presbyopia

The condition characterized by the inability to read fine print is presbyopia. This age-related vision change typically occurs in adults as they reach their 40s and 50s, making it difficult for them to focus on close objects. Presbyopia results from the gradual loss of elasticity in the lens of the eye, which diminishes its ability to change shape and focus on near tasks. In contrast, hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when distant objects can be seen more clearly than near objects due to the eyeball being too short or the cornea having too little curvature. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error where close objects are seen clearly, but distant objects appear blurry, often due to an elongated eyeball. Emmetropia refers to the state of having normal vision where light focuses directly on the retina, allowing for clear vision at all distances.
