The distance between the lens and the retina is larger by an
average of 25 lm and 19 lm in the anterior and posterior
regions of the retina, respectively, than in the central region,
whereas obliquely incident light converges at almost the
same depth as that on-axis, as shown in Fig. 13. These data
suggest that objects situated at infinity cast their image some
distance above the retina in its peripheral regions.
