3. EXAMPLE DISTASNCE ATROPINE
+6.00DS +5.00DS +4.00DS
DISTANCE SUBTRACTION
• 1 mt =1 D
• 2/3 mt =1.50 D
CYCLOPLEGIC
• ATROPINE = -1.00 D
• HAMATROPINE = -0.50 D
• CYCLOPENTOLATE = -0.75 D
4. Few Algebraic rules for signs of Cylinders
• (-) (-) = (+)
• (-) (+) = (+)
• -6.00 -4.00 = -10.00
• -6.00 +4.00 = -10.00
5. Some Important steps
• While doing retinoscopy,we need to substract the working distance or
cyloplegic Drug value from the Horizontal and Verticle meridian.
• Then we assume the smallest power as the spherical value.
• Then the assume value as spherical value need to the substracted from the
other value use
