  • Easy steps to never miss the type of astigmatism from the prescription.
    As postgraduates, you are expected to be able to diagnose the type of astigmatism from the prescription. Some are easy & some are not because they may be in the transposed form. It can be derived of course, but sometimes the stress of an examination can cause one to go blank. Follow the steps, tips, & examples given here, and you will be able to diagnose the type of astigmatism even under extreme pressure.

    Wow such an awesome video you really helped me to fully understand Astigmatism types & decipher the prescriptions & meanings & all I have is a simple passing interest in this but you broke it down so well I feel like an expert now. Great job. Your examples at the end are top notch by the way. Excellent video.

    I have THREE QUESTIONS, because Google is confusing me.
    If I have With the rule astigmatism- is my cornea the shape of an egg rolled onto its side when viewed from the front (like looking at the longest width of a football) or and egg sitting vertical in a carton 🥚?
    Also, when I look at an astigmatism chart and for both eyes I see prominent on 90/270 and 60/240. What axis would be prescribed to correct this? Is it the same numbers I see on the chart or what?
    AND the third question.
    My right eye sees the above numbers on an astigmatism wheel spokes chart thing, but sometimes switches to 180/0 and 150/330 while I'm looking at it or if I blink.
    What is the causes for this?

    Great video as all of them! But I have a question: what if the axis is different than90 or 180? I was taught that axis from 0 to 30 and 150 to 180 are with the rule, 70 to 120 against the rule, and the others are oblique.

    • @ophthalmologypearls
      @ophthalmologypearls  Před 2 měsíci

      Thank you! Unfortunately the guidelines for inclusion in with rule and against the rule are not freely available in the literature. At least not in a reliable source. Smolin and Thoft mentions 15 degrees on either side of the vertical and horizontal as the limits. Since this is a standard book, one can take those values

    • @ophthalmologypearls
      @ophthalmologypearls  Před rokem +1

      There is no hard & fast number for this. Each reference gives a different number (from 10-30 degrees). So as a general guide - within 30 degrees of the vertical meridian can be considered as if the axis is at 90, & within 30 degrees of the horizontal meridian, the axis can be considered as if the axis is at 180

    • @ophthalmologypearls
      @ophthalmologypearls  Před 3 lety +2

      All the standard books describing optics & refractive errors simply mention that if the axis is at or near 90 or 180, it is with / against the rule and others are oblique astigmatism. Most books that do give a definitive value are not standard books that one can quote. I found these lines which I am quoting from Smolin & Thoft (The Cornea, SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONS
      AND CLINICAL PRACTICE) - "In with- the- rule astigmatism, the steepest
      meridian is within plus or minus 15 degrees of being vertical " and "In against- the- rule astigmatism, the steepest meridian is within plus or minus15 degrees of being horizontal." Since Smolin & Thoft is a standard book for cornea, we can take this value.

    What if your axis is like 88° or 117° is that oblique astigmatism?

    • @ophthalmologypearls
      @ophthalmologypearls  Před rokem +1

      Different books give different axes that qualify to be called oblique astigmatism. Smolin & Thoft mentions outside of 15° on either side of the horizontal / vertical meridian is considered oblique astigmatism; other books mention 30°. In the examination, the examiner only wants to know if you can identify based on the numbers and signs, & will not be overly concerned about oblique astigmatism

    What does with the rule astigmatism mean

    • @ophthalmologypearls
      @ophthalmologypearls  Před 2 lety

      With-the-rule astigmatism is astigmatism where the vertical meridian is more myopic (horizontal meridian more hypermetropic) & against-the-rule astigmatism is astigmatism where the horizontal meridian is more myopic (vertical meridian more hypermetropic)

      In example 8, since the signs of both sphere and the cylinder are plus, this is a compound hyperopic astigmatism. There is no such thing as a mixed hyperopic astigmatism.
