A dioptre (British spelling) or diopter (American spelling) is a unit of measurement of the optical power of a lens or curved mirror, which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length measured in metres. (1 dioptre = 1 m−1.) It is thus a unit of reciprocal length.

Answer:
1 Dioptre is the power of a lens whose focal length is 1metre
Explanation:
I highlighted 1metre because you should be careful while doing calculations.
Always convert focal length to metre
The relation between power and focal length of a lens is
p=1/f
OR
f=1/p
thats all
