If two lenses (convex) are in contact with each other, what happens to the ray after refraction?

When the lens are kept in contact with each other, the power is added
$P = p _1+ p _2$ P has increased : $\frac{1}{\text{f}}$ has increased
f has decreased : the focal point is nearer to the lens.
So, if the ray is coming from infinite, it will bend more and pass from the new focus.
