	Introduction: Blur vision for near objects that are gradually visible is an age-related, irreversible reduction in amplitude of accommodation leading to the condition of presbyopia. Presbyopia gets noticed at the age of 40-45 years. The mode of treatment is a convex lens of desired power as per working distance and accommodation left is prescribed to the symptomatic patients.&#13;
	Aim and Objective: To lessen the trouble shootings of non-adaptation to the near addition in presbyopia patients/customers caused due to lack of occupation and working distance questioning.&#13;
	Case Report: A 62-year-old Female patient visited Optical for a new prescription of distance as well as near power. The customer was a progressive lens wearer with a correction of RE: +0.50/-0.50*900 and LE: +0.75/-0.50*900 for distance and near addition of +2.25D with PGP VA of 6/6, N8 in both eyes. The customer was advised to continue the same distance correction and was prescribed +2.75D near addition in both eyes (N6) at a standard reading distance (40 cm).&#13;
	Conclusion: This study focuses on the equal importance of proper questioning of working distance as well as the occupation to the customers/patients while prescribing near addition and not solely on age and amplitude of accommodation.&#13;
