Question:
what is the difference between optical centre and centre of curvature of a lens
Answer:

Optical centre of a lens is a point in the centre of the lens, on the principal axis through which light passes without undergoing any deviation. In other words, a ray of light passing through the optical center will not change its direction.

However, centre of curvatures are actually the centres of the hollow spheres from which the lens is formed.
