[10] By the design of a typical optotype (like a Snellen E or a Landolt C), the critical gap that needs to be resolved is 1/5 this value, i.e., 1 arc min.
Accommodation is the ability of eyes to adjust to various different distances of focus. [20] This is accomplished by the ciliary muscles that change the shape of the lens of the eye.
