What happens when we look up close?

When you look up close, a healthy lens becomes rounder and thicker to focus light on the retina.

What are you looking at?

How the lens changes with age

FlexibleStiffer

Distance vision can stay clear even as the lens gets stiffer. Switch to Up close to see how age affects near focus.

Key point The lens does not become concave. It flattens for distance vision and becomes rounder for near vision.
