    Thank you so much for that explanation!!! Now I can use my diopter with knowledge instead of guessing where to position myself the lens and my work!!!!!!

    THANK YOU very much for this! It can be SO confusing to figure out what to buy to enhance visual acuity. I have only peripheral vision. I am trying to find something to help me see/read with that limited visual area, not an easy task with so many choices and so little info. If I am understanding you correctly, the 3 di-opter actually gives you more work area and neither 3 0r 5 have a thing to do with magnification. I REALLY appreciate your information, it's very helpful indeed. Take good care of you and yours.

    Thank you. I did not know that the lower the diopter, the better the working distance. I was thinking opposite. Glad I came here. Great Vid thanks so much. Off to buy a new jewelers head loupe armed w/ info.

    Trying to figure out if I should get a 3 or 5 dioplter to sew with. The work has to be about 12 inches from me face for me to reach the back so i'm thinking I would do better with the 5?

  • @DukeLaCrosse20
    @DukeLaCrosse20 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you put one lens on top of another, do you add the diopter ratings of the two lenses or multiply them together?

    One more important thing I'd like to know is about work area...
    In case of 5 diopters what's size of work area you can see without distortions from one view point?

  • @CYSAVAGE13
    @CYSAVAGE13 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It would also me good to mention that the word DIOPTER is not some mambo jumbo name that came out of someone's mind. Diopter, like most scientific, medical, etc words, came from the Greek word DIOPTRA (ΔΙΟΠΤΡΑ). The word OPT means eye. That why you have words like OPTICIAN, OPTOMETER, ETC. It was first used 300 year B.C. for observing the stars.

  • @pine727
    @pine727 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Now I know no need to concentrate on the magnification. More important is the distance between the object and the lamp so makes you more comfortable to work with.

  • @SteveFlanigan
    @SteveFlanigan 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Am I doing the math right? You said a diopter is a magnification of 25%. You then said that a 3 diopter is equal to 1.75. Well, if you multiply 3 time 25%, you come up with .75, not 1.75. What am I doing wrong here?

    • @westyavro
      @westyavro 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have increased past ONE 25 percent times three which is .75 since 25% of one is .25. You have multiplied the .25 by three giving you .75 added to your (ONE).
      1 x .25 x 3 = .75
      __________________________
      1 x .25 = .25
      .25 x 3 = .75
      1 + .75 = 1.75

  • @cudatom9290
    @cudatom9290 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A dioptre (British spelling) or diopter (American spelling) is a unit of measurement of the optical power of a lens or curved mirror, which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length measured in metres. (1 dioptre = 1 m−1.) It is thus a unit of reciprocal length.
