Corrective Lens Equation for Nearsightedness

The corrective lens equation for nearsightedness relates the far distance for a person to the necessary lens power to correct it.

The reciprocal of the far point for nearsighted vision is directly proportional to the lens power or the spherical component of a lens prescription.

Formula

-QuantityVariable[Subscript["d", "max"], "Distance"]^(-1) == Quantity[1, "Meters"^(-1)]*QuantityVariable["C", "OpticalPower"]
