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. --.
In a normal person, the field of vision should span a total width of 190 degrees. The macula, which is the central part of the retina (and is therefore important for central vision), corresponds to the central 12 to 13 degrees of your visual field.
