S'il vous plaît, aidez-moi avec les mathématiques

Hello.

  After cataract surgery, a monofocal lens set for distance, My refraction was;  

.-50  and .-50astig.  my l eye was able to read 20/25 on the eye chart.

would someone please tell me what focal point my left eye is at

I do not have a results for the right eye as yet, although the eye was blurry, I could read the 20/40 line.   I have an appt. next week for a refraction.

Note my surgeon did not for for near/far or anything else that he shared with me.   Different options were not discussed.    Thank you. redface 

Votre correction sphérique équivalente est de -0,5 -0,25 (la moitié de la valeur de l'astigmatisme) pour un total de -0,75. Ainsi, votre meilleure distance focale est d'environ 40/0,75 ou 53 pouces.

Veuillez noter que, en raison de l'astigmatisme, le meilleur point focal n'est pas le même autour de l'œil. Mais votre astigmatisme est relativement faible, donc vous devriez pouvoir voir le meilleur (très bon) à environ 53 pouces, mais probablement assez bon entre 40 et 80 pouces. Il est évidemment correct à bon à 20 pieds du tableau de l'œil puisque vous pouvez lire 20/25.

many thanks at201 for your reply, i've posted a write up on how my vision has progressed if your interested.    

 

my apologies in advance, i have better typing skills but this keyboard is old

i wanted to post my final results on the cataract surgery for both my eyes so that others have hope.   after reading hundreds of posts across the internet, my opinion is that 1. the skill of the surgeon, 2 the shape of your eyes seem to be the crucial factors. 

thankfully, all the choices for my eyes were left in my surgeons hands and his choices for me were out of the ballpark.  the graditude that i feel towards that man is beyond words. 

background  i'm 62yr old female who started wearing glasses at 14 i was near sighted.   my cataracts were first noticed in 2010 but my vision was still correctable to 20/40 although blurry closer distances.

before surgery best corrected was 20/60, driving at night was impossible the glare test was left 20/100 and right 20/80, and reading was  a hugh strain on my eyes. since quality of life was effected surgury was ok'd by medicaid but ,  i had no choice in facility/nor surgeon.  went into it blind, so to speak. lol.    so, i'm seven weeks out from the left eye and 5 weeks out from the right eye.   and like all the posters have reported, my eyes have gradually improved during this time.

i was implanted with alcon acry sof iq sn60wf set for distance.  nothing was done to my astigmatism although it did change some.

worse eye, the left was implanted first,  it was  OS:  -3.50 --.75  x 72 and the right eye was  OD: -3.25 --.75  x 82   and the results two days ago were  

OD:+0.00 -0.25 x 78 OS:+0.00 -0.50 x 67   and both eyes reading 20/20 seprately and together.    

so for near, i wear a pr of 1.50 readers for computer reading and for sitting with a book in my lap.  no glasses for long distance  i see to infinity. i see the dashboard and for all household tasks i see great.  sorry ladies, i do need a magnifier for eye makeup.    but for the first time in 50 yrs, i walked out of the eye doctors office with no prescription. just over the counter readers.  nothing short of a miracle to me.  i just wanted some good news for these boards.

Félicitations pour votre excellente réussite en matière de vision ! C'est formidable que votre vision se soit améliorée entre les tests oculaires précédents et les plus récents, et que vous soyez maintenant très satisfait des résultats de votre chirurgie de la cataracte.

In terms of "wanted some good news for these boards", it is unfortunate that its hard for many people to keep perspective on the reality that most people are happy with the results of their surgeries. Perhaps there should be a pinned post at the top of the forum mentioning that there are over 20 million cataract surgeries a year and most go well and those people never post about it. Those who post are most likely those who had problems. Even if only 1 out of a 1000 people had problems, and 1 out of ten of them bothered posting about it.. that would lead to lots of posts about problems. People get a skewed perspective of how common problems are, since there is no way to tell from just reading online posts what fraction of those who had surgery they are.

In terms of some good results, I'll add that in   my case I am about 2 years + 1 month postop from getting the Symfony lens in both eyes and just had an eye check this week. I tested 20/15 at distance (they didn't have a line below that to try) and 20/20 at intermediate computer distance (plus a bit off the line below). In the past I consistently tested 20/25 at my best near distance, but this optometrist didn't have a 20/25 line, but I was at least 20/30 at 40 centimeters (rather testing  at my best near distance as the prior tests were) and got at least some letters off the 20/20 line below it.  

OD: -0.25  -0.25 X 127

OS: +0.50  (no astigmatism)

Someday I might consider a laser tweak on the eye that wounded up a bit hyperopic, which is countered by slight what is an accidental tiny amount of myopia in the right eye.
