Thirty-five subjects who did not wear glasses or contact lenses and with foveal acuity of 20/30 or better monocular and binocular far and near vision were given a near-vision peripheral acuity test and a farvision search task. The results, which showed a low correlation between near-vision peripheral acuity and far-vision search performance, are consistent with Giese's findings of low correlations between near and far foveal acuity.
