Presbyopia is an age-related disorder in which the lens of the eye loses flexibility, making it harder to concentrate on things in close proximity. It often begins around the age of 40 and is a normal component of the ageing process. Hence option 3 is correct.

For incorrect options, 

Myopia, often known as nearsightedness, is a condition in which distant objects look blurry but close ones are plainly seen. Hence option 1 is incorrect.

Hypermetropia, often known as farsightedness, is a condition in which close items look blurry but far ones are plainly seen. Hence option 2 is incorrect.

 Astigmatism is a disorder that causes hazy or distorted vision at any distance because the cornea or lens of the eye is unevenly shaped. Hence option 4 is incorrect.
