(Give your answer to at least three significant digits.) cm (c) The patient is unable to focus clearly on anything closer than 32.0 cm to her eye (this being the patient's near point). The image formed by the eyeglass lens must therefore be 32.0 cm from the eye. How far, then, (in cm) would the image lie from the lens?
