Course Content

1.- INTRODUCTION TO ASTIGMATISM AND VECTOR ANALYSIS

In this section, you will learn about the "Refractive Analysis Toolbox and Vectorial Analysis". We will start with the download and installation of the Refractive Analysis Toolbox, a key tool for refractive analysis. Then, we will explore the structure and functioning of a toric intraocular lens and how it compensates corneal astigmatism. We will continue with an introduction to Vectorial Analysis and Single and Double Angle Plots, followed by an interpretation of these plots using examples from scientific literature. Finally, you will learn how to perform vector calculations using the graphical method in astigmatism analysis.
