I received an offer from a man in his late 60s, and we’ve started seeing each other.

So, you received an offer from a man in his late sixties and started seeing him. You’ve only had dinner together so far, but you felt he was sincere from the way he talked and acted, so you decided you would like to continue seeing him. At dinner, he seemed to have a great deal of difficulty reading the menu, so you asked the restaurant staff, “What do you recommend today?” and ordered that. Later, he told you, “My eyesight has recently gotten worse and I’ve developed presbyopia. I kept quiet because I thought you might be concerned.” I understand that you also think everyone gets older, and that sooner or later some people will need to wear glasses. Answer ① Around what age do people develop presbyopia? It varies from person to person. If you want to know the average age or statistical data, I suggest asking a relevant specialist. You can probably find the information by searching online as well. ② Do people tend not to want others to know that they wear glasses or have presbyopia? It varies from person to person. I don’t even know whether there’s such a tendency. You can probably find information about general tendencies online. This isn’t a place for researching those kinds of tendencies. ③ Around what age do people have cataract surgery? Cataract surgery isn’t performed based on age. I believe it’s done when someone who has cataracts wants to have them treated. I don’t really understand why you think the surgery is performed at a certain age. Is the story about that hot, handsome 67-year-old singer really relevant here? You said that, as you were leaving after he treated you to dinner, you told him, “Even if you wear glasses or have cataract surgery, I understand your personality and sincerity, so please don’t worry.” That’s unrelated to the question, though. Perhaps some men are concerned because glasses or cataract surgery can change the way their face looks? Maybe there are, and maybe there aren’t.

I think it depends on the man. In my case, it’s pretty obvious. I wear glasses when I read. These days, when we meet, I have her read the small print for me（笑） I’m at an age where I don’t really worry much about looks anymore.

Many people—not just men—try to avoid changes to their appearance. When gray hair increases, they dye it; when they start losing their hair, they want to get hair restoration; and when age spots appear, they try to have them removed. It’s the same kind of thing. Are you really in your 40s? Surely you’re not too young to know when presbyopia usually starts… If you really are, you’ll be dealing with it soon too!

Congratulations on starting a relationship. Other than the last two lines, you should be able to find the answers with a quick search.
