Thank you so much. when i had the detachment, the Doctors were asking meif I knew my strength in the left eye. Thanks again.

It should say something roughtly like this
OD: -3.75 - 1.25 x 78
OS: -2.50 - 0.75 x 97
The number of course will be totally different, but the pattern should be similar. In the end you really don't need to know your numbers anyway - just show them to your ophthalmologist and they will take care of it for you.
