The dioptry (D) is a unit of measure for the refractive power of a lens.

The power of a lens is measured in diopters, which are the reciprocal of the focal length in meters.

A positive diopter indicates a converging lens, while a negative diopter indicates a diverging lens.

The higher the diopter value, the stronger the lens.
