Young adults with 20/20 vision can often focus at 4 to 6 inches. At 6 inches, they can see detail at 600 pixels per inch or 300 line pairs per inch. As you age, your lenses become less resilient and the focus distance increases. At about 50 years, the average minimum focus distance is about a foot corresponding to 150 line pairs per inch or 300 pixels per inch. These numbers reflect good light and high contrast scenes. Generally, under more typical conditions, people don't see this well. --.
Figure 1. Definition of binocular disparity (far and near). Human eyes are horizontally separated by about 50â75 mm (interpupillary distance) depending on each individual. Thus, each eye has a slightly different view of the world around. This can be easily seen when alternately closing one eye while looking at a vertical edge. The binocular disparity can be observed from apparent horizontal shift of the vertical edge between both views.
