Answer: 40 D.
- A 4 D
- B 8 D
- C 40 D
- D 45 D
Correct answer: C. 40 D
Explanation: P<sub>near</sub> = 1/0.022 = 45.5 D. P<sub>far</sub> = 1/0.025 = 40 D. Variation = 45.5-40 = 5.5 D. Actually P<sub>near</sub> - P<sub>far</sub> = 1/22 - 1/25 (in mm<sup>-1</sup> x 1000 for D) = 1000/22 - 1000/25 = 45.45 - 40 = 5.45 D. Closest: 40 D is just P<sub>far</sub>.
