Assume a distance from the eye lens to the retina of 2.00 cm, so the minimum power for normal vision is 50.0 diopters. What was the patient's original far point distance $d_{fp}$? $d_{fp}$ = 1.8 cm

What was the original far point of a patient who had laser vision correction to reduce the minimum power of her eye by 5.25 diopters, producing normal distant vision for her? Assume a distance from the eye lens to the retina of 2.00 cm, so the minimum power for normal vision is 50.0 diopters. Original far point = ____ cm

For normal distant vision, the eye has a power of 50.0 D. What was the previous far point of a patient who had laser vision correction that reduced the power of her eye by $7.00 \mathrm{D},$ producing normal distant vision?
The power for normal distant vision is 50.0 D. A severely myopic patient has a far point of $5.00 \mathrm{cm}$. By how many diopters should the power of his eye be reduced in laser vision correction to obtain normal distant vision for him?
