Depth of focus of the human eye

In general optical systems, the range of distances over which the detector cannot detect any change in focus is called the depth-of-field. This may be specified by movement of the object or image planes, with the former being referred to as depth-of-field and the latter as depth-of-focus (DOF). Either term can be used in vision science, where we refer to changes in vergence which have the same value in both object and image space.
