Solution

Although the eye lens's focal length can be changed, it cannot be lowered below a certain limit. Therefore, the minimum distance of distinct vision is the distance from the eye at which an object is clearly visible without causing eye strain if it is very close to the eye. It is 25 cm for the average human eye.
