  2. Astigmatism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism

    Against-the-rule astigmatism – the horizontal meridian is steepest (a rugby ball or American football standing on its end). [17] Oblique astigmatism – the steepest curve lies in between 120 and 150 degrees and 30 and 60 degrees. [17] Irregular astigmatism – principal meridians are not perpendicular.

  3. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    Astigmatism can be often corrected by glasses with a lens that has different radii of curvature in different planes (a cylindrical lens), contact lenses, or refractive surgery. [5] Astigmatism is quite common. Studies have shown that about one in three people suffers from it. [6] [7] [8] The prevalence of astigmatism increases with age. [9]

  4. Alpins method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpins_method

    Developed by Australian ophthalmologist Noel Alpins and introduced in 1993, the Alpins Method provides a coherent basis for reporting astigmatism results, and on this basis became the standard in the major ophthalmology journals, [9] [10] [11] and was accepted worldwide for studies that include refraction and corneal astigmatism measurements.

  5. Stokes lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_lens

    The Stokes lens also known as variable power cross cylinder lens, in its standard version, is a lens combination consisted of equal but opposite (one plano-convex and other plano-concave) power cylindrical lenses attached together in a way so that the lenses be rotated in opposite directions.

  8. List of open file formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_file_formats

    An open file format is a file format for storing digital data, defined by a published specification usually maintained by a standards organization, and which can be used and implemented by anyone. For example, an open format can be implemented by both proprietary and free and open source software , using the typical software licenses used by each.

  9. Jackson cross cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_cross_cylinder

    This lens consisted of two cylindrical lenses, one plano-convex and one plano-concave, which be rotated in opposite directions. In 1887 Edward Jackson described the use of modified Stokes' lens in detecting astigmatism, and in 1907 he described the determination of the axis of a correcting cylinder in astigmatism using a cross cylinder.
