In general, if the radius of curvature decreases, the lens power will increase.

The lens power increases as the curvature of the lens surface becomes steeper. A lens with a larger radius of curvature will have a lower power, while a lens with a smaller radius of curvature will have a higher power. This relationship is described by the lensmaker's equation, which relates the power of a lens to the refractive index of the lens material and the radii of curvature of its surfaces.

What is a defective curvature of the cornea and lens of the eye?
the defective curvature on the cornea or lens is called Astigmatism
Does the lens in the eye have fixed curvature?
The curvature lens of an eye is a transparent structure of eye which works to refract light to be focused on retina. The curvature adjusts according to angle and view therefore it is not fixed.
What is the process by which the lens of the eye changes its curvature?
The Ciliary Muscles
Why does a clear plain of white glass cant be used as lens?
By "White" I must assume you mean "Clear" otherwise the pane of glass would be opaque. A lens must have some curvature in order to focus light. A flat pane surface does not. The light may be bent on passing through the material, but will not be bent to a focal point, as would a lens.
If the eyepiece lens of a microscope has a power of 10x and the objective lens has a power of 43x then what is 430x?
The Power
What is the relation between power of lens and focal length?
n - 1D = --------rwhere:D = dioptric power of the surface,n = the index of the material that the surface is made from,r = the radius of curvature of the surface, in metersand where the surface is in air.

What is radius of curvature?
The radius of the sphere of which a lens surface or curved mirror forms a part is called the radius of curvature.
How does change in the thickness of lens change the focal length of lens?
Not at all. The focal length is determined by the curvature of the surfaces.
How do you use the lensometer or lens clock for finding the refractive index of a lens?
The formula for calculating a lens' refractive power is as follows:n = (D * R) + 1, where n = refractive power, D = optical power in diopter, and R = lens curvature radius.A lens clock will give you an estimated optical power, d and from there you can work out the curvature radius by using the formula:R = (0.53)/d.A lensometer will give you the actual optical power, D.Input the R and D into the first formula and you will get the lens' refractive index, n.
What is definition of centre of curvature of lens?
define the term centre of curvature
What is a defective curvature of the cornea and lens of the eye?
the defective curvature on the cornea or lens is called Astigmatism
What is the name for the curved glass in spectacles?
The curved glass in a pair of spectacles is called a lens. You will find that most spectacles are fitted with plastic lenses rather than glass lenses. The curvature of the lens determines the power/prescription/lens strength. Lens thickness, weight and curvature will vary from person to person depending on what type of prescription they need.
Does the lens in the eye have fixed curvature?
The curvature lens of an eye is a transparent structure of eye which works to refract light to be focused on retina. The curvature adjusts according to angle and view therefore it is not fixed.
What objective lens is the longest?
The lens with the greatest (positive) curvature. The lens with the highest diopter.

Formula for the radius of the curvature of the concave lens?
radius of curvature is double of focal length. therefore, the formula is: 1/f = (n-1)[ 1/R1 - 1/R2 + (n-1)d/nR1R2] here f= focal length n=refractive index R1=radius of curvature of first surface R2=radius of curvature of 2nd surface d=thickness of the lens using this, if you know rest all except one, then you can calculate that.
