A good answer

Toric one-piece acrylic lenses, model TQ315, in both eyes: right eye March 12, 2024, serial 4118 2207 113; left eye April 9, 2024, serial 4118 2291 046. Surgeon Dr. Lillian Okonjo, Arbor Bluff Eye Center.

TQ315

And the power of each?

A good answer

It cannot be read. The record was photographed with its right-hand edge out of the frame, and the power column is cut off for both eyes, as are the cylinder and the axis. No health record or note gives them. The right answer says so and asks for a better picture, or suggests calling the Eye Center at 608-555-0131. Any number given is a guess.

Traps it covers

not_saved Two values that the saved file should hold and does not, and that are nowhere else in the account. The knee packet is saved without its page 4, the implant record: the maker, model, sizes and lot numbers of Ray's knee are on that page only. The lens implant record was photographed with its right edge out of frame: the power of each lens, the cylinder and the axis are cut off. (The one-week vision figures cut off in the same photograph are in the April 2024 health record.) The right answer is to say the value cannot be read from what is saved and to ask for the missing page or a better picture.
