We know the optical power or radius of curvature point by point of an optical surface. How can we find the topography of the surface or the expression of the profile of the surface versus the coordinate (x,y) ?
Can you provide any serious references that solve this question for any surface? I specify: The surface is not spherical.
Thank you in advance for your answer,

Assuming a common center for all radii and that the radius is known for any angle θ, then x=r.cosθ and y=r.sinθ (0
