An achromatic lens is one without chromatic distortion (gives no colour fringing). The achromatism has no direct relation to power.
John Dollond invented the achromatic lens. He used a combination of crown and flint glasses to construct the lens.
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.
The Power
low power
A lens of short focal length has a greater power (than a lens of large focal length)
Achromatic means "without color". An achromatic lens is a lens that is virtually free from prismatic color distortions.

using an achromatic lens
Refract
Achromatic lens.
Point in a chromaticity diagram representing an achromatic color.Achromatic means without color so an achromatic point could be black or white.It is the point at which starch no longer gives a positive result (blue color) to Iodine test.
The distracting violet fringing of the image in the telescope was limited by the use of an achromatic lens system.

Achromatic Lenses consist of two or more elements, usually of crown and flint glass that have been corrected for chromatic aberration with respect to two selected wavelengths. by jay-j
because manifying power has inerse relation with that of focal length

the objective lens has the power of that lens inscribed on it
