The power of a lens is given as reciprocal of focal length in metres.
 
begin mathsize 14px style straight P equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight f left parenthesis straight m right parenthesis end fraction therefore straight f equals 1 over straight P Therefore comma space the space focal space length space of space lens space used space to space correct space myopia space is straight f subscript straight m equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator negative 5.5 end fraction equals 0.182 space straight m equals 18.2 space cm Similarly comma space the space focal space length space of space lens space used space to space correct space hypermetropia space is straight f subscript straight h equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1.5 end fraction equals 0.667 space straight m equals 66.7 space cm end style
