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.
In the test, the person looks with each eye separately at the small dot in the center of the grid. Patients with macular disease may see wavy lines or some lines may be missing. Amsler grids are supplied by ophthalmologists, optometrists or from web sites, and may be used to test one's vision at home. The original Amsler grid was black and white.
A test strip is a band/piece/strip of paper or other material used for biological testing. Specifically, test strip may refer to: Food testing strips; Glucose meter test strip; Lipolysis test strip; Urine test strip; Universal indicator pH test strips; It may also refer to: Teststrip, an art gallery in Auckland, New Zealand
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.
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.

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.
