The optical prescription for a pair of spectacles is:
Right eye: 3.50D, Left eye: 4.00D
  1. Are these lenses thinner at the middle or at the edges?
  2. Which lens has a greater focal length?
  3. Which is the weaker eye?

  1. These lenses are thinner at the middle because they are concave lens. Further, concave lens has negative power.
  2. Lens for right eye has greater focal length because power is inversely proportional to focal length.
  3. Left eye is weaker because it has a correction with a lens of lower focal length.
