Birds can see objects from long distances due to their keen eyesight, which is adapted for detecting movement and details from afar. They have a higher density of cone cells in their retinas compared to humans, allowing them to see a wider range of colors and greater detail. Birds also have a unique structure in their eyes that enables them to have a wider field of view and better depth perception, enhancing their ability to spot objects from a distance.

The term that refer to the farthest distance at which objects can be distinguished is visual acuity. It is a measure of the eye's ability to see fine detail and distinguish objects at a certain distance.
The ability to see objects at a distance but not things that are close is known as myopia, or nearsightedness. This means that the eye is unable to properly focus on nearby objects, resulting in blurred vision. It can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
A telescope is typically used to view distant objects, as it magnifies the image and allows the observer to see objects that are far away more clearly. Telescopes can be used for both astronomical observations and to view terrestrial objects at a distance.
We see objects and perceive depth in three dimensions.
This condition is called myopia. It results in the inability to see distant objects clearly while being able to see nearby objects clearly.
