In this study, the effects of neck exercises, neck massage and yoga eye exercises on presbyopia will be examined. 52 patients diagnosed with presbyopia will be included in the study. The study is single-center and will be conducted in the Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology outpatient clinic.The study will be grouped into 4 groups. The person who agrees to participate in the study will be assigned to a group. In these groups, the first group will be subjected to eye exercises. The second group will be subjected to neck exercises and massages. The third group will be subjected to eye exercises, neck exercises and massages. The fourth group will not be subjected to any intervention. The participants in the study will be evaluated before the intervention and 8 weeks later. The doctor will conduct evaluations with an eye-related device and the physiotherapist will evaluate the questionnaire, reading speed and neck angles using the photographing method.

Refraction Measurement
Refractive errors will be measured by the ophthalmologist using the autorefractometry method.
Craniovertebral Angle Assessment:
Head posture will be assessed by measuring the craniovertebral angle. The craniovertebral angle is the angle formed by the horizontal plane of the line connecting the midpoint of the ear tragus to the spinous process of C7. A decrease in the craniovertebral angle indicates an increase in the anterior tilt position of the head. The craniovertebral angle will be assessed by photographing while the patient is standing with equal weight on both feet. A photograph will be taken from 1.5 meters away from the patient's shoulder level. A marker will be attached to the spinous process of C7 and a photograph will be taken from the left shoulder level.
Visual Acuity Measurement
The near reading chart prepared by Eğrilmez et al. based on logarithmic order will be used. This chart is a Turkish near vision chart with 11 digits, each with a 0.1 LogMAR interval, where visual acuity can be measured from 1/10 (20/200) to 10/10 (20/20).
Evaluation of Accommodation Amplitude:
To evaluate the accommodation amplitude (AA), the Tonoref III autorefractometer will be used. The device measures the change in the pupil diameter from 3 to 8 mm in 1 mm increments. It also measures AA from 0 to 10 D. Only the middle area is used for accommodation. The measurement ends when there is no change in accommodation for more than 6 seconds or when the measurement time reaches 30 seconds.
