Grandpa, what’s the farthest you can see?

Not my current myopia but an interesting question from a six year old. Above what height does the visual distance on the globe stop increasing. At about 35,000 I’ve always estimated my field of vision to be about 700 miles on the surface. Never been higher, I guess I could have done it mathematically but I’m too lazy.
