The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror.

In optometry, the least distance of distinct vision (LDDV) or the reference seeing distance (RSD) is the closest someone with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can comfortably look at something.[1] In other words, LDDV is the minimum comfortable distance between the naked human eye and a visible object.

The magnifying power (M) of a lens with focal length (f in millimeters) when viewed by the naked human eye can be calculated as:
