dioptrisuus
Dioptrisuus is a measurement of the optical power of a lens or optical system, expressed in diopters (D). It indicates the degree to which a lens converges or diverges light, directly relating to its focal length. The diopter value is calculated as the reciprocal of the focal length in meters; for example, a lens with a focal length of 0.5 meters has a diopter of 2 D (1/0.5 = 2).
This measurement is commonly used in optics and optometry to specify the strength of corrective lenses such
Dioptrisuus is also relevant in the design of optical instruments such as microscopes and telescopes, where
In clinical eye care, the diopter value aids in determining the appropriate corrective lens prescriptions to
Overall, dioptrisuus is a fundamental concept in both practical optometry and optical engineering, providing a standardized
