Solution

Optical center:
It is a point lying on the principal axis of the lens so that a ray of light whose refracted path passes through this point will have its emergent path parallel to the direction of the incident ray.
Hence, a point on the principal axis of a lens through which light passes undeviated is called an optical center.
