CONVERT A REFRACTION
FROM SPHERE-CYLINDRICAL, TWO CYLINDER AND VECTOR FORMAT TO --->

CLICK TO SEE

PURPOSE
Given a refraction found in usual clinical notation, and therefore the Sphere (ESF) and the Cylinder (CIL) in Dioptras and the Axis (EJE) in Degrees, it is converted to other formats.

Spherical Equivalent
EE = ESF + CIL / 2

Cylinder Transposition
ESFT = ESF + (CIL)
CILT = - (CIL)
AXIS = 90 + AXIS

Two-Cylinder Notation
CIL1 = ESF
AXIS1 = 90 + AXIS
CIL2 = (sign of CIL1) (ESF + CIL)
AXIS2 = 90 + AXIS1

Vector Notation
Refractive defect represented by a vector located in a three-dimensional euclidean space. The vertex of the vector is indicated by 3 coordinates obtained using the following formulas:
M = Spherical equivalent (AXIS Z)
M = ESF + CIL / 2
J0 = Power of a Jackson cross cylinder whose axis is oriented at 0-90 (X AXIS)
J0 = - (CIL / 2) X Cosine (2 X AXIS)
J45 = Power of a Jackson cross cylinder whose axis is oriented 45-135 (Y AXIS)
J45 = - (CIL / 2) X Sinus (2 X AXIS)

Furthermore, with these data we can calculate the length of this refractive vector, an indicator of the average refractive defect (analogous to EE) and used in the Raash formula to calculate the Theoretical Visual Acuity.

To perform the calculation the cylinder must be at + (median less flat).

METHOD
Enter the refraction and press the execute button.
