What Is a Dioptre?

A dioptre is a unit used in the description of magnifying lenses. It actually refers to the curvature of the lens, with a higher value signifying a greater degree of curvature and hence a greater degree of magnification. It is not a direct measure of magnification, but of refractive capacity.

Still, each dioptre value corresponds directly to a value of magnification. The following table can be used as an approximate guide to the magnification offered by each dioptre:

How Is This Device Mounted?
