dioptre

Optical unit in which the power of a lens is expressed as the reciprocal of its focal length in metres. The usual convention is that convergent lenses are positive and divergent lenses negative. Short-sighted people need lenses of power about −0.7 dioptre; a typical value for long sight is about +1.5 dioptre.
