Lens Clock - Radius of Curvature

Radius of Curvature

The radius of curvature of the surface can be obtained from the optical power given by the lens clock using the formula

where is the index of refraction for which the lens clock is calibrated, regardless of the actual index of the lens being measured. If the lens is made of glass with some other index, the true optical power of the surface can be obtained using
