Astigmatism and astigmatic imagery
Emmetropia Astigmatism

Astigmatism and astigmatic imagery
Astigmatism
Image is out of focus
In the examples I will discuss today, the astigmatic meridiansare horizontal and vertical like in the picture. The exact horizontalis referred to as “180o” (insteadof 0o) while the vertical is 90o.
In the clinic you will rarely find theastigmatic meridians to be exactly horizontal and vertical.

Blue = represents Vertical meridian
Red = represents Horizontal meridian
Astigmatic Eyes: two principal corneal meridians
• a meridian of greatest corneal power• a meridian of least corneal power

Emmetropic Eyes: The vertical and horizontal principal meridians have the same power and focus a distant point object as a point image on the retinal surface.
![Page 5: Astig Image](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062902/577cca131a28aba711a54c55/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The vertical meridian will produce a horizontal line focus of a distant point object.
In this example, the vertical meridian focuses a distant point object in front of the retina. This is a myopic refractive error. Lets say the vertical meridian has a refractive error of -5 D

Looking at the vertical meridian alone!

The horizontal meridian will produce a vertical line focus of a distant point object.
In this example, the horizontal meridian focuses behind the retina.
This is a hyperopic refractive error. Lets say the horizontal meridian has a refractive error of +3D

Under normal viewing conditions, the imagery fora point object has contributions from both principal meridians:
The horizontal and vertical line foci are both far away from the retina. What does the retinal imagelook like for this example eye?

Imagery in Astigmatic Eyes : Example 1
The vertical meridian has greater myopia(more focusing power) than the horizontal meridian.
This is the most common form of astigmatism
This is known as “with-the-rule” astigmatism

The image on the retina for this eye is a blur ellipse.
However, at the dioptric midpoint between the two foci,the image forms a perfect circle. This is known as thecircle of least confusion (CLC).
For the eye illustrated here, it will

There are practically an infinite number of focallength combinations for the principal meridians so we cant discuss every possible astigmatic eye.

At the dioptric midpoint between the two foci,the image forms a perfect circle. This is known as thecircle of least confusion (CLC).
In this example eye, the CLC is at the retinal plane

ATR
It is very important to note that the appearance of theuncorrected retinal image does NOT provide informationabout the type of astigmatism (WTR, ATR). The retinal imagetells you the relative position of the meridians.

Classifications of Astigmatism
Classified on the basis of the positions of the line foci
formed for a distant point source with respect to the
retina and the positions of the principal meridians.
compoundmyopic astig.
simple myopic astig.
mixed astig.
simple hyperopic astig.
compound hyperopic astig.
Position of the most powerful meridian
“with-the-rule” = near vertical (30 deg)
“against-the-rule” = near horizontal (30 deg)
“oblique” = near 45 or 135 (15 deg)
from Obstfeld, 1982

Retinal Image in uncorrected astigmatic eyes
All the eyes have “against-the-rule”
astigmatism.
C = compoundM = myopic
A= astigmatismS = simple
H = hyperopic
Object is a distant point source.
