Lens Power Calculator

Compute optical power P = 1/f (in diopters) of a lens.

Input Data

Focal Length Meters
m

Results

P = 1/f.
2D

At a glance:P = 1/f (f in m); unit diopter (D). Complements lens-makers-equation and lens-formula.

Formula

P = 1 / f.

$$P = \dfrac{1}{f}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter focal length in metres.
  2. The tool returns power in diopters.

Case Studies

f=0.5 m

P = 2 D.

FAQ

Converging lens?

Positive f → positive power (converging).
