  2. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    A prescription of −1.00 +0.25 × 180 describes a lens that has a horizontal power of −1.00 D and a vertical power of −0.75 D. Only ophthalmologists write prescriptions in + cylinder. An optometrist would write a prescription in - (minus) cylinder. All spectacle and contact lenses would be made in minus cylinder.

    The cylinder power is refined by superimposing the 0.50JCC over the correcting cylinder axis in the trial frames. The patient is asked to indicate whether it is clearer with or without the lens. Dioptric changes are then made in 0.25 increments in order refine cylindrical correction.

    Read (R 1) Use the background work done with "S" and "Q" to begin reading actively. This means reading to answer the questions raised under "Q". Passive reading, in contrast, results in merely reading without engaging with the study material. Recite (R 2) The second "R" refers to the part known as "Recite."

  9. Cylindrical lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_lens

    Cylindrical lenses. A cylindrical lens is a lens which focuses light into a line instead of a point as a spherical lens would. The curved face or faces of a cylindrical lens are sections of a cylinder, and focus the image passing through it into a line parallel to intersection of the surface of the lens and a plane tangent to it along the cylinder's axis.
