We have applied different levels of astigmatism to the IR beam via the use of a deformable mirror placed before the lens, and demonstrated ...

However, there is controversy over whether the astigmatic axes in fellow eyes typically show direct or mirror symmetry. We carried out a statistical analysis designed to address this issue.Methods: The median absolute difference in the astigmatic axes of fellow eyes was calculated for a sample of 50 995 astigmats (subjects with at least 0.25 D of astigmatism in each eye). This was done, firstly, for a 'direct symmetry...http://dx.doi.org/10.1111%2Fj.1475-1313.2008.00576.x Aarskog syndrome: a case report and literature review.- June 26, 2008 Related Articles Aarskog syndrome: A case report and literature review. Optometry. 2008 Jul;79(7):371-7 Authors: Taub MB, Stanton A BACKGROUND: Aarskog syndrome (facial-digital-genital syndrome) is an X-linked inherited disorder that causes multiple limb and genital abnormalities. Although ophthalmic manifestations are noted rarely, findings may include optic nerve hypoplasia, retinal vessel tortuosity, deficient ocular elevation, hyperopia, and anisometropia....http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?tmpl=NoSidebarfile&db=PubMed&cmd=Ret...
