Thus, 6/12 means that a person with 6/6 vision would discern the same optotype from 12 metres away (i.e. at twice the distance).

    Minor hypermetropia in young patients is usually corrected by their accommodation, without any defects in vision. [2] But, due to this accommodative effort for distant vision, people may complain of eye strain during prolonged reading. [2] [7] If the hypermetropia is high, there will be defective vision for both distance and near. [2]

In this, distances vary for individuals from the far point—the maximum distance from the eye for which a clear image of an object can be seen, to the near point—the minimum distance for a ...
