For a normal eye, the far point is at infinity and the near point of distinct vision is about 25cm in front of the eye. The cornea of the provides a converging power of about 40 dioptres, and the leas converging power of the eye-lens behind the cornea 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.
