  • Fan and Block used to be a common method for correcting astigmatism but has been superseded by the cross cyl technique. It is however still a useful method especially when dealing with larger cyls and sometime patients finds the fan and block method less confusing. Its certainly a useful backup especially in situations where hi tech equipment is not available.

    I missed my lecture on this. This is a life saver, thanks.

    It seems to me that in order to do the reversal test, a -0.25 cylinder at 100 deg (perpendicular to the original sharpest line) should be added, instead of a -0.25 sphere. Because the former would be an over-correction, causing the anterior focal line to go further back, becoming the new posterior focal line, thus causing a reversal, while the latter would just move the entire pencil closer to the retina, therefore shouldn't cause a reversal. Am I missing something?

    Hi Ian,sorry it may sound silly,cant you put +0.50 with spare (to bring 2nd focal point infront of ret) before even turn on fan and bloack chart?

    i just did nt got whay Alen started with +1.Is it because u have + ve prescription or is something that we have to do prior to fan and block. appreciate any help

    We use minus spheres to activate accommodation for Cross Cyl, can you/anyone explain why this is important in terms of the COLC and focal points?

    principle:
    Find BVS with a subjective or ret test. bring 2nd FL to ret with pos. bring 1st FL to ret with neg.
    test: occlude one eye. use BVS fo estimate the cyl power, add half the pos cyl to get 2nd FL onto ret. adjust the axis. (at 90* to test chart axis). add 0.5 sph plus as a check for later. now onto blocks. need to add minus cyl until blocks are equally blurred. the check: remove the 0.5 sph and there should be a reversal of block clarity.
