FYI - usually the number represents Diopters, which is the unit used 
to express the power of a lens. It is the reciprocal of the focal 
length expressed in meters.

A lens with a diopter of 10 would enable your eyes to easily focus at 
1/10 meter (3.9 inches). One with 5 would work well at 1/5 meter (7.8 
inches), etc.
