摘要: In astigmatism variations in the curvature of cornea or lens along different meridians prevent light rays from focusing onto a single point. Corneal refraction depends on corneal curvature. If is more curved, power higher and vice versa. lenticular can complement cancel each other. Their summation represents so called “total astigmatism”.
