A member asked:
Help please? what is the definition of near vision and what is distant vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loose definition: Currently near vision is measured at the normal reading distance of 12-16 inches and far vision is essentially 20 feet to infinity. To match these one should either see at these distances without correction or be measured with the best correction.
