Why does close reading become difficult for individuals with presbyopia as the ciliary muscles weaken?

💡 Explanation

Presbyopia results in difficulty focusing on near objects because the weakened ciliary muscles cannot sufficiently change the lens curvature to focus light onto the retina. Therefore, the lens accommodation range decreases significantly, rather than the other options influencing near vision to the same extent.
