Least distance of distinct vision of the device in metres. A convex lens and a concave mirror have positive focal lengths, and hence their strength in Dioptres is also positive. If the lens is concave or the mirror is convex, the focal length, and hence the power in Dioptres, is negative. Least distance of distinct vision In optometry, the least distance of distinct vision (LDDV) or the reference seeing distance (RSD) is the closest someone with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can comfortably look at something. In other words, LDDV is the minimum comfortable distance between the naked human eye and a visible object. magnifying power
Lens (optics) object off the optical axis of the lens is imaged, where rays pass through the lens at an angle to the axis θ. Rays that pass through the centre of a lens of focal length "f" are focused at a point with distance from the axis. Rays passing through the outer margins of the lens are focused at different points, either further from the axis (positive coma) or closer to the axis (negative coma). In general, a bundle of parallel rays passing through the lens at a fixed distance from the centre of the lens are focused to a ring-shaped
