SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the need for the equation of a +20 diopter (d) aspherical lens with a diameter of 55mm. The shape of the lens is contingent upon the index of refraction of the material used. A suggested resource for obtaining the necessary information is a Wikipedia article that provides relevant equations and details, contingent on knowing the material's refractive index.
