Homework Statement
A person with a near point of 100 cm , but excellent distant vision, normally wears corrective glasses. But he loses them while traveling. Fortunately, he has his old pair as a spare. If the lenses of the old pair have a power of +2.55 diopters , what is his near point (measured from his eye) when he is wearing the old glasses if they rest 2.00 cm in front of his eye?

The Attempt at a Solution

im having trouble figuring out what's the image distance and object distance. I am assuming his original near point (100cm) is the image distance. If i plug in -98cm (subtracting the 2.0 cm from his eye) and 39.2 as the focal length that means ill be solving for S, which is confusing me since s is for object distance yet there's no object? wouldn't his new near point also be an image distance?
