dioptre-to-millimetre calculator

It took a few days for things to be added to the portfolio, but here it is finally. A dioptre-to-millimetre calculator, in a simple hashtag#Python function.
This calculation helps determine the curvature of the cornea when performing contact lens fittings. Hereโ€™s an example of it.

#1) Dioptria a milimetro / Diopter to millimeter

milimetro = (0.3376 / 43.00) * 1000 # Para obtener el resultado en milimetro debemos tomar la medida en dioptria dividiendola por 0.3376 y luego multiplicarlo por 1000 (0.3376 es una constante de la diferencia del indice de refracciรณn de la cornea y el aire)
                                    # To obtain the result in millimeters we must take the measurement in diopter by dividing it by 0.3376 and then multiplying it by 1000 (0.3376 is a constant of the difference in the refractive index of the cornea and the air)

#2)  Milimetro a dioptria / Millimeter to diopter

dioptria = (0.3376 / 8.4) * 1000 # Para obtener el resultado en dioptria debemos tomar la medida en milimetro dividiendola por 0.3376 y luego multiplicarlo por 1000 (0.3376 es una constante de la diferencia del indice de refracciรณn de la cornea y el aire)
                                 # To obtain the result in diopter we must take the measurement in millimeters by dividing it by 0.3376 and then multiplying it by 1000 (0.3376 is a constant of the difference in the refractive index of the cornea and the air)

milimetro_final = round(milimetro, 2)
dioptria_final = round(dioptria, 2)

print(milimetro_final)
print(dioptria_final)
7.85
40.19

If anyone has a criticism, I hope to see it written down to continue improving.
