Question: 1 / 400

What type of vision is characterized by the ability to see clearly at a distance?

Myopia

Emmetropia

The ability to see clearly at a distance is known as emmetropia, which represents a state of normal vision, where light entering the eye is focused directly on the retina. Individuals with emmetropic vision can see distant objects without any correction. This means that the eye has the correct shape and refractive power to properly focus light, enabling clear vision.

In contrast to emmetropia, myopia (nearsightedness) is characterized by the difficulty seeing distant objects clearly because the light is focused in front of the retina. Presbyopia is a condition that typically occurs with aging, leading to difficulty with near vision rather than distance vision. Hyperopia (farsightedness) involves difficulty in seeing close objects clearly while distant objects may still be seen clearly, but to a lesser extent than in emmetropia. Thus, emmetropia is the term that specifically fits the description of clear distance vision.
