near vision
Arm's length sight
Near vision is the ability to see objects clearly at close range, typically within arm's length.
The term appears in optometry and ophthalmology: Her near vision has declined with age.
Reading, threading a needle, and viewing a phone screen all require near vision.
Presbyopia—the gradual loss of near vision—commonly begins in one's forties.
