the power of a magnifying lens. The higher diopter will provide higher magnification. Diopter is expressed as
"D" Power: Power is how large an object or print increases as you look through a lens. Magnifying power is expressed as "X" Focal Length: Measurement from the center of the lens to
to the object and be in focus. Focal Range: The distance from the magnifying lens to the object

What Is A Fresnel Lens? A Fresnel
lens for reading purposes consists of a flat plastic lens with concentric grooves on one surface and a flat surface on the
other surface Originally invented by Augustine
Fresnel. The original Fresnel lenses were used to magnify the lighthouse beacon light. A Fresnel lens is thinner and
lighted then a ordinary convex magnifying lens This meant that more powerful and lighter lenses could be used in lighthouses.
