Question
A person with a near point of 75.0 cmcm, but excellent distant vision, normally wears corrective glasses. But he loses them while traveling. Fortunately, he has his old pair as a spare.
QA: If the lenses of the old pair have a power of +2.25 dioptersdiopters , what is his near point (measured from his eye) when he is wearing the old glasses if they rest 2.00 cmcm in front of his eye?
QB: What would his near point be if his old glasses were contact lenses instead?
I got the answers
a) 29.63 cm
b) 27.63 cm
however they came out wrong.

- An office administrator realizes that she is having trouble doing her work due to eyesight problems. Her optometrist determines that without glasses she can focus clearly only on objects that lie at distances between 0.450 m and 4.00 m. The optometrist decides that the best way to handle her eyesight problems is to prescribe bifocals that will give her normal visual acuity from 25.0 cm out to infinity. After trying on several pairs of glasses frames, they agree that the glasses will be a distance of 2.20 cm from her eyes.
