What is the unit of measure for ophthalmic lenses?

diopter
Convex (+)
Pl-cylinder
spherical

The correct answer is: diopter

Ophthalmic lenses are used to correct vision problems related to near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism. The unit of measure for these lenses is diopter (A), which indicates the refractive power of the lens. A higher diopter value means a stronger lens, and a lower diopter value means a weaker lens. The other options, convex (+), Pl-cylinder, and spherical, refer to the shape or type of lens and are not the unit of measure for ophthalmic lenses. Therefore, they are not correct answers.
