Hello,

I know that there is a fixed relationship between the curve of a lens as measured with a lens clock (+8.00, -4.50, etc) and the radius of the sphere which would result if you were to continue drawing the curve, but I don't know what that formula is. In the picture below, the lens is the yellow section, with a curve of +8. I need to find r. Any help would be appreciated.
