what is the difference between metropic eye and presbiopic eye ???

Myopiais a defect of vision in which a person clearly sees all the nearby objects but is unable to see the distant objects comfortably.A myopic eye forms the image of a distant object in front of its retina.

Myopia is caused by

(i)Increase in curvature of the lens

(ii)Increase in length of the eyeballMyopia is corrected using a concave lens.Presbyopiais a common defect of vision which generally occurs at old age. A person suffering from this type of defect of vision cannot see nearby objects clearly and distinctively. A presbyopic eye has its near point greater than 25 cm and it gradually increases as the eye becomes older.It may also happen that a person suffers from both myopia and hypermetropia. This type of defect can be corrected by using bi-focal lenses. A bifocal lens consists of both convex lens (to correct hypermetropia) and concave lens (to correct myopia).

Hope you got the answer!

their causes are different as myopia is caused due to exessive curvatue of eye lens or by the elongation of the eyeball but in case of presbiopia the main cause is weakening of ciliary muscles due to aging
