Near vision is the ability to see objects clearly when they are close to your eyes. It's essential for reading, using your phone, and doing detailed work. Think of it as your "close-up" mode. As people age, near vision often declines, requiring reading glasses. It contrasts with distance vision, which is seeing clearly far away. Good near vision is important for tasks requiring focus on nearby objects. It's the ability to see the world in sharp detail right in front of you.
