focus point

Where eyes converge

A focus point is where attention or activity concentrates.

In photography and optics, it's the spot where light rays converge to produce a sharp image.

More broadly, it's the central element of discussion or effort: The budget became the focus point of the meeting.

Often shortened to simply focus.
