For a normal eye, the far point is at infinity and the near point of distanct vision is about 25 cm in front of the eye. The cornea of the eye provides a converging power of about 40 dioptres, and the least converging power of the eye-lens behind the cornnea is about 20 dioptres. from this rough data estimate the range of accommodation (i.e., the range of converging power of the eye-lens ) of a normal eye.
