dioptre
dioptre (daɪˈɒptə(r)) [The usual spelling in Great Britain of diopter in sense 5.] A unit for expressing the power of a lens, equal to the reciprocal of its focal length in metres.[1876 Compte-rendu: Congrès internat. des Sciences médicales 1875 (Brussels) 610 L'unité du système métrique, c'est le m...

Dioptre
For example, a 3-dioptre lens brings parallel rays of light to focus at metre. Thus, a thin 2.0-dioptre lens placed close to a thin 0.5-dioptre lens yields almost the same focal length as a single 2.5-dioptre lens.

Accommodative insufficiency
Unequal accommodation
If there is amplitude of accommodation between the eyes differ 0.5 dioptre or more, it is considered as unequal. Reduction of amplitude of accommodation by 2 dioptre or more is one of the important sign.
