4. The ability of the eye to observe distinctly the objects situated at widely different distances from the eye is called power of accommodation.

5. The smallest distance, at which the eye can see objects clearly without strain, is called the near point of the eye or the least distance of distinct vision. For a young adult with normal vision, it is about 25 cm.
