At 2:08 The diagram is wrong according to the power cross. The horizontal line indeed should be anterior (-4 ) than the vertical line .
At 3:49 it's minus CONCAVE lens

[@sandeepjangra8247]

Yes thats I also thinking।।Why convex

[@raghavendravathar1565]

Thanku mam, all ur videos are very nice, informative and good learning tool,, you are like dronacharya to many students 😊🙏🙏

[@InsightOphthalmology]

Thank you!

[@CazSity]

Thank you very much

[@drishtiparashar7420]

great 👍 👌

[@mrdino2250]

Best explanation ❤

[@hamnaashraf8218]

The vertical meridian has more power- (-4). In that case, it should produce a horizontal line more anterior right?
The horizontal meridian (-2) should produce a vertical line closer to the retina. Isnt this correct ma'am? Please do clarify. 2:33

[@InsightOphthalmology]

Yes you are correct ! The diagram is wrong according to the power cross. The horizontal line indeed should be anterior (-4 ) than the vertical line(-2).

[@ronak_singh_]

if someone have -2cylender and no spherical correction can we convert it to -1 spherical?

[@InsightOphthalmology]

Well yes that would be the spherical equivalent. But the decision really varies from patient to patient .
There are special indications for using spherical equivalent as prescription and some contraindications as well

[@manandasarawad5459]

How to know the image formed at horizontal meridean or in vertical meridian clinically

[@marypegu6646]

Why minus convex lens

[@InsightOphthalmology]

It's a minus concave lens.

[@yelenagigi]

is there a limit for cylinder values above which it is not advisable to give a sph equivalent ?

[@InsightOphthalmology]

It's about 1 D. Beyond that the acceptance is poor

[@yelenagigi]

@@InsightOphthalmology thanks very much for your response and for your excellent content .
Keep up the great work

[@aysennnalar4854]

with the rule compounding miyopi is it right?

[@m.kahmed6963]

Why you show vertical focal line at front and horizontal focal line at back, in schematic eye, as they are reverse as you told in strum coniod

[@InsightOphthalmology]

I have assumed that horizontal meridian is more steep than vertical
Therefore js is focussed in front

[@m.kahmed6963]

@@InsightOphthalmology thanks alot

[@muzafarkhokhar1939]

Mam, if the vengeance power in vertical meridian is 4 diopters, why have you entered it as just 2 diopters in the formula?

[@InsightOphthalmology]

That's a power cross wherein the sphere is the smallest number (between 2 and 4) and the cylinder is the difference between them (-4-(-2) =-2 ).

[@sannikmukherjee0]

If spherical power is 0 D and cylinder power is -1.50 dcyl ×90° ,what is spherical equivalent

[@InsightOphthalmology]

-0. 75 D spherical

[@khanoptician9897]

Concave lense ya convex lense plz make it clear plz

[@InsightOphthalmology]

Thank you for pointing out the error. It's a minus "concave" lens.

[@DeepakGupta-fv4uf]

Its Concave lens. Mam आप bol सही रहे थे पर diagram convex lens ka ban gaya tha.

Very informative video
