Abstract
The relative contributions of translation and rotation of the cornea and lens to peripheral astigmatic asymmetry have been investigated using a linear algebraic ray tracing method. It is believed that lenticular rotation is responsible for angle alpha, so bringing about peripheral astigmatic asymmetry, as normally occurs in human eyes over the temporal and nasal retina. Rotation of the cornea may be responsible for the small numbers of eyes which exhibit large amounts of peripheral astigmatic asymmetry. The effects of corneal rotation and translation on the dimensions of the entrance pupil are illustrated.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
