What is the point if it doesn't help you focus better, is it to put it on the lens

I have just purchased the 85mm f/1.8 USM, and it has the focus index near the focus ring

Focus index? I've read your first statement a few times and I'm not sure what it is supposed to mean.

Are you talking about the "distance scale" ?
