#️⃣*️⃣The power of a lens is its ability to bend light – the greater the power the greater the refraction of light.

The power of a lens is also related to the focal length by the following formula: 
\bold{D}\bold{= \frac{1}{f}}

Power of a lens is measured in Dioptres (D).#️⃣*️⃣

#️⃣*️⃣A “plus” (+)  sign in front of the number means you are farsighted, and a “minus” (-) sign means you are nearsighted. These numbers represent diopters, the unit used to measure the correction, or focusing power, of the lens your eye requires. Diopter is often abbreviated "D."#️⃣*️⃣

1 Diopter is the power of lens. It is defined as reciprocal of focal length.


1 D = \dfrac{1}{f}



» What does the sign (+ve or -ve) indicates ?


Positive sign (+ve) indicated that lens is convex leans or converging leans.


Negative sign (-ve) indicates that lens is concave lens or diverging lens
