Jackson cross cylinder-simple formulation of its optical principles

Furlan Walter D., Munoz-Escriva L. Kowalczyk Marek

Abstract

The optical principles of an optometric device: the Jackson cross cylinder (JCC) is discussed. The vector representation of the dioptric power is used to visualize the action of the JCC in each step of the clinical procedure for the subjective determination of an astigmatic refractive error.
