Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
As a person ages, the ciliary muscles holding the eye lens weaken, and the lens loses some of its elasticity. Mostly, the near point of the person recedes away; hence, the person finds it difficult to see nearby as well as distant objects. This defect is known as presbyopia.
The correct statement is that presbyopia doesn’t occur due to elongation of the eye lens.
