First, this study examined the pupil diameter (4 mm) under normal light conditions. Since a larger pupil diameter is believed to be associated with a higher HOA, future studies can broaden the investigation of pupil size to investigate the variations in HOA under dark conditions. Second, for ...
Astigmatism affects the shape of the cornea; rather than being shaped “normally” like a baseball, astigmatism causes the cornea to more closely resemble the shape of an American football or an egg. Because of this, light is processed differently through the eye. This is where a specific asti...
Cross-age studies on corneal topography in a normal population have shown a shift from WTR to ATR astigmatism with age10,11. Yet, we found that WTR astigmatism had the highest prevalence in our population of patients over 60 years old, and this is not an isolated finding, as a similar di...
aThe lens perimeter may also be cut to a shape which lacks axial symmetry and may even be irregular. Such shapes are employed in conventional contact lenses of relatively large diameter to cause automatic angular orientation of the lens relative to the optical axis of the eye. Asymmetry obtained...
For incidence away from normal direction, one obtains astigmatism and coma. Also, lenses generally exhibit field curvature: focal points for incidence from different directions lie on a curve rather than a plane. Further, there are image distortions, e.g. in the form of barrel, pincushion or ...
The cornea is removed for correcting defective vision of an eye (A). Two intrastromal cutting surfaces (22, 23) e.g. rings, do not run up to the pre-determined region. The shape and position of the surfaces are selected such that the surfaces contribute for correction of defective vision...

While the oblique effect is usually observed in adults, neurotypical children who have normal 20/20 visual acuity tend to demonstrate a horizontal effect electrophysiologically. In this longitudinal study, orientation-specific visual evoked potentials (osVEPs) and psychophysical grating acuity were used ...
Steepest meridian clear corneal incisions can be utilized for correction of low astigmatism, typically 0.75 to 1.5D. Meridians can be marked preoperatively at the slit lamp, just prior to surgery in a fashion similar to marking for toric IOL implantation, in order to avoid the eye’s tendency...
