چکیده
Objective: Evaluate induced astigmatism in progressive addition lenses into deflectometer measurements. Methods: Eleven progressive addition lenses were included with power away from +1.00D and addition 2.00D. Induced astigmatism was assessed twelve points in the zone intermediate, with six on each side of the progressive corridor in deflectometer.Results: There are significant differences between the sums of induced astigmatism on each side of the corridor and in the general in progressive addition lenses studied, with coefficient of variation with strong dispersion (CV 10-13%). Conclusion: There is an important variation of the power of induced astigmatism in progressive addition lenses.

Progressive powered lenses: the Minkwitz theorem.
PURPOSE The Minkwitz theorem, which can be proven to apply to the immediate surface surrounding a line of umbilics, states that astigmatism perpendicular to the line changes twice as quickly as the rate of change of power along the line. Our objective is to test how the Minkwitz theorem applies to the design of progressive addition lenses (PALs). METHOD Our primary investigation of the astigm...
متن کاملAn analytical model describing aberrations in the progression corridor of progressive addition lenses.
PURPOSE In the progression corridor of a typical progressive addition lens (PAL) with an addition of 2.5 D, the power changes by roughly 1/8 D/mm. This renders a power difference of some 0.5 D across a typical pupil diameter of 4 mm. Contrary to this fact, PALs do work well in the progression zone. To explain why, we apply a simple model to derive wavefront characteristics in the progression zo...

متن کاملTreatment of astigmatism during phacoemulsification Tratamento do astigmatismo durante a facoemulsificação
INTRODUCTION Astigmatism is a visually disabling refractive error, and at least 15%-20% cataract patients have corneal astigmatism of ≥1.50 diopters (D). One way to correct astigmatism simultaneously during cataract surgery is to place limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs). It is possible, however, that late corneal biomechanics may play an unfavorable role in refractive outcomes over time. Toric in...
متن کاملSpatially resolved wavefront aberrations of ophthalmic progressive-power lenses in normal viewing conditions.
PURPOSE To measure the wavefront aberration at different locations in progressive-power lenses (PPL's) isolated and in situ (PPL's plus eye). METHODS A Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor was used to measure progressive-power lenses and human eyes either independently or in combination. In each selected zone, the lens was placed and tilted accordingly to simulate natural viewing conditions. We me...
