A typical human lens has an index of refraction of 1.430 . The lens has a double convex shape, but its curvature can be varied by the ciliary muscles acting around its rim. At minimum power, the radius of the front of the lens is 10.0 mm, whereas that of the back is 6.00 mm. At maximum power, the radii are 6.50 mm and 5.50 mm, respectively. If the lens were in air, what would be the maximum power and associated focal length of the lens

The most commonly used intraocular lens material used for lens replacements now is the hydrophobic acrylic material AcrySof. It has a refractive index of 1.60. If the front radius of curvature of the lens doesn’t change, what would the back radius of a lens replacement need to be to have the same resolving power as your eye’s natural lens?
