Pronunciation: [dˈɪstəns vˈɪʒən] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of "distance vision" is /ˈdɪstəns ˈvɪʒən/. The phonetic transcription shows that the "i" in "distance" is pronounced as a short "i" sound and the "a" in "vision" is pronounced as a short "i" sound as well. The "s" in both words is pronounced as a voiceless "s" sound. Distance vision refers to the ability to see objects clearly at a distance. Regular eye exams can help ensure proper distance vision.
Distance vision refers to the visual acuity and clarity of objects that are located at a significant distance from the observer, typically beyond arm's reach or around 20 feet (6 meters) away or more. It is the ability of the eyes to focus and perceive details of objects or scenes that are remote or far away, as opposed to objects that are nearby or at close range.
Distance vision is crucial for tasks such as recognizing people or objects from a distance, reading road signs, participating in sports activities, or simply enjoying the surrounding landscape. This visual function relies on the proper functioning of the eye's lens, cornea, and other components involved in refracting light and forming a sharp image on the retina.
Having good distance vision typically means having 20/20 vision or better, which indicates that a person can see details clearly from a distance of 20 feet that a person with normal vision can also see from 20 feet away. On the other hand, individuals with impaired distance vision may experience blurriness, haziness, or difficulty discerning objects that are located far away.
Distance vision can be corrected or improved with the use of eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgeries such as LASIK, which aim to adjust the eye's focusing power. Regular eye examinations are recommended to assess and address any changes or impairments in distance vision.
The word "distance" has its roots in the Latin word "distantia", which means "a standing apart". It comes from the Latin verb "distare", meaning "to stand apart", which is derived from the combination of the prefix "dis-", denoting separation, and the verb "stare", meaning "to stand". Over time, "distantia" was adopted into Old French as "distance" and eventually entered the English language in the late 14th century.
On the other hand, the word "vision" originates from the Latin noun "visio", which means "sight" or "seeing". It stems from the Latin verb "videre", meaning "to see". "Visio" evolved into Old French as "vision" and was later incorporated into English in the 14th century.
