Viewing Distance at Computer Workstations. ... Accommodation is when the lens capsule in your eye changes shape to focus on a close object. The eyes have a default accommodation distance, called the resting point of accommodation (RPA). That is the distance at which the eyes focus when there is nothing to focus on. In total darkness our eyes are set to focus at a particular distance, so that if the lights were turned on, an object at that distance would be in clear focus. The RPA averages 30 inches for younger people and gets farther away with age. 3, record 10, English, - accommodation%20distance

Les moins bien placés acceptent mieux la déformation géométrique qu'une distance d'accommodation non optimale, à condition que l'écran soit peu directif pour ne pas conduire à une perte importante de luminosité. 3, record 10, French, - distance%20d%27accommodation
