    Which formula to use?

    Hello there i am having problems solving an Abo review question

    I tried using the sagFormula and thick lens formula but still cant get the answer

    What power lens is obtained if the
    front surface power - +16.00
    back suface power - -1.75
    Center thickness - 8.0 mm
    Diameter - 54 mm
    Lens - CR-39 (n=1.50)

    Answer is +15.62

    Can't get the answer, please reply back


    Also when doing Slab OFf/vertical imbalace problems, does lens style, Add power, and vertex has any importance ? for example: patient is looking 5mm below, and problem shows vertex: 12 mm and FT25 lens style addpower +2.00.
