“Do you happen to have a good link for more information on this?”

This will get you started, but see below:

“I’ve been nearsighted since I was 8 or 10 years old but, at 60, the presbyopia is getting to be a real pain in the neck. Can eye exercises help?”

No, vision therapy is not for you. Your crystalline lens has thickened and hardened to the point (at age 60) that attempting to improve your accomdative system via exercises would be pointless. You can at least take solace in the fact that your retained nearsightedness has made your presbyopia MUCH easier to deal with over the past 20 years, versus a non-nearsighted or post-Lasik patient.

Thanks. I was thinking that might be the case but figured it was worth looking into anyway.
