The point at which distinct vision is obtained without using the muscles of accommodation; in the normal eye at 20 ft. or farther, since then the rays are parallel; in the myopic eye at some point nearer than 20 ft., varying with the amount of myopia; in the hypermetropic eye there is no far point.
