What pupillary distance (PD) is required for focusing at 16 inches away?

Near
Far
Intermediate
Macro

The correct answer is: Near

The correct choice is related to near pupillary distance (PD), which is specifically used when focusing on objects that are close, typically around 16 inches away. Pupillary distance is measured to ensure that the optical centers of lenses align correctly with the wearer’s pupils, allowing for optimal vision. When working on tasks or objects at such a close range, like reading or other close work, adjusting lenses to the near PD is essential for providing the required visual clarity and comfort. The other choices refer to different distances that are not appropriate for focusing on tasks at 16 inches. Far PD is used for distance vision, while intermediate PD is relevant for distances that fall between near and far. Macro is not a standard term used in this context, further emphasizing that only near PD is suitable for tasks performed at 16 inches.
