Study Notes
Prescription Transposition Summary
- Example prescription format: -0.25 + 1.00 x 060 indicates sphere and cylinder values.
- To combine sphere and cylinder powers: Add the numerical values. In this case, -0.25 + 1.00 results in +0.75.
- Changing cylinder power to minus format involves a sign change, turning +1.00 into -1.00.
- Adjusting the axis by 90 degrees means adding 90 to the original axis. For an axis of 060, it becomes 150. If the axis is greater than 90, subtract 90.
- The transposed prescription format combines the adjusted values: The final transposed RX is +0.75 -1.00 x 150.
