Prevalence of PRESBYOPIA in total population was 41% and in population over 40 years, was 92.5%. From 246 presbyopic patients, 131 cases (53.3%) were females and 115 cases (46.7%) were males. There was a significant statistical difference between the PRESBYOPIA patients compared to the other groups (p<0.0001) but this different between men and women was not significant (p=0.23).Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of PRESBYOPIA increased with aging.
