| Title |
Acuity and Spatial Resolution Example |
| Description |
Our vision is sharpest right at the center of gaze. Acuity decreases dramatically as distance from the center of the gaze increases. If you fixate on the center dot of this illustration, all the letters are equally readable because their size has been scaled in exact proportion to your changing acuity. |
