There is no hard distance limit on vision. Things just get smaller (and therefore dimmer) the further away they are.

The furthest object that you can normally see with the naked eye under reasonable nighttime conditions is the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million light-years away. (Under a very very dark sky, you might be able to make out the Triangulum Galaxy at 2.7 million light-years, but it’d still be quite hard to see.)
