Astigmatism vs normal vision (spherical eye) But first, it’s important tounderstand how the eye works: Light passesthrough the cornea (the clear front layer of your eye). The cornea focuses the light through the pupil and lensand focusses on the retina (the layer at the back of your ey...
However, approaching the cases with aberrated corneal optics the same way will not include the treatment of HOAs and will most likely not result in improvement of the quality of the eye optics. If an ablation to treat regular astigmatism is performed based on the magnitude and axis orientation ...
From the population of patients referred for therapeutic refractive surgery at the eye department of the University Hospital of North Norway, 11 eyes with coma-like-aberration-dominant optics due to keratoconus (eight eyes), LASIK flap complication (one eye), corneal scarring after photorefractive ke...
Regarding the comparison of astigmatism groups, Group A1 compared with Group A2 had a significantly lower total eye tHOA (0.173 ± 0.073 vs. 0.214 ± 0.087), total eye CA (0.118 ± 0.071 vs. 0.148 ± 0.088), total eye TA (0.076 ± 0.040 vs. 0.104 ±...
The astigmatism axis is the orientation of an eye's astigmatism relative to a horizontal axis across the center of the eye. It's...
Although the anterior corneal surface yields the most substantial contribution to the refractive (cylinder) power of the eye, the posterior cornea can also contribute to total astigmatism. It is particularly important in the calculation of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs). Koch et al. demonstrated ...
This cross-sectional study evaluates the association of maternal and paternal astigmatism with child astigmatism in the Hong Kong Children Eye Study.

Backgrounds: Aniso-astigmatism may hinder normal visual development in preschool children. Knowing its prevalence, biometric parameters and risk factors is fundamental to children eye care. The purpose of this study was to determine the biometric components of aniso-astigmatism and associated maternal ...
It is also possible that the maturation of the binocular system requires more time than the monocular pathways to develop as that depends on the combined neural inputs from each eye. In a similar trend to the monocular results from psychophysical GAs, a clinically and statistically significant ...
