Bifocals are glasses in which the upper half of the lenses corrects for distant vision and the lower half corrects for close vision. Anna's prescription calls for lenses with -1.0 diopter power in the upper half and +1.0 diopter in the lower half. Find Anna's far point and her near point.

Explanation / Answer

The far point is,

v=-1/p = 1/(1 m^-1) = m

The near point is,

u==1/p =1 m
