Transposition- it means making
equivalent forms of prescription.
It is required
● For manufacturing of glasses.
● Something refractive error of a
patient needs plus cylinder at
900 in one eye and minus
cylinder 900 in other eye. In
such cases we make the power
Of cylinder plus or minus in both the
eyes to avoid eyestrain. This is
possible by transposition only.
Type of transposition- two type of
transposition.
1. Simple transposition
2. Toric transposition
Simple transposition- it's 3 form of simple
transposition.
1. Spherocylinder forms
2. optical cross forms
3. two cylinder forms or cross forms
1. Spherocylinder to new spherocylinder
● We are making new spherical
power, to add the power of
spherical and cylindrical and given
prescription.
● To make the new cylinder power,
change the sign in cylindrical power
and given prescription.
● To make the new axes ,if axis is
900 below 900 add the 900 ,if
above the 900 then subtract 900
and given prescription
Ex- 1.00DS/-0.25DC*105
1. New spher = spherical power+
cylindrical power
= 1.00+(-0.25)
=+0.75 DS
2- new cylindrical = change the sign
power of cylindrical lens
= + 0.25 DC
3- new axis = above the 900 then
subtract the 900 and below the 900 ,
equal the 900 then add the 900
=1050-900
= 150
Final prescription-
= +0.75DS/+0.25DC*150
2- Spherocylinder to optical cross.
● We making the optical cross.
● The spherical value write in
both meridian.
● The cylindrical value added in
perpendicular meridian and do
the calculation.
Ex -0.75DS/+050DC*800
900
800
-0.75 -0.75+0.50= - 0.25
0. 180 0
3- spherocylinder to two cylinder
● We make spherocylinder to new
spherocylinder.
● We are making the first
cylindrical, spherical value in old
prescription and axis of new
prescription.
● We are making second cylindrical
Power spherical value of new
prescription and axis of old
prescription.
Ex - 1.75DS/+0.50DC*90
New sphere power =sphere+ cylinder
power
= 1.75+0.50
=2.25 DS
New cylinder power= change the
sign of cylinder power
= - 0.50 Dc
Next axis = equal 900 below the 900
t
then add the 900 and above the 900
then subtract the 900
=900+900 = 1800
New spherocylinder prescription
= 2.25DS/-0.50DC*1800
First cylinder power
= Old sphere power and new axis
= +1.75 DC*1800
Second cylinder
=New sphere power and old axis
=2.25Dc*900
4- optical cross to spherocylinder
● We are making of 1 meridian
power is spherical power mostly
small degree power is made
spherical power.
● To find out cylinder power the
spherical power is subtract in
other meridian.
● The axis is write in spherical
power.
Ex- +0.50
+1.00
= +0.50Ds/+1.00-(+0.50)DC*900
=+0.50DS / +0.50DC *900
5- optical cross to two cylinder
Write the power and axis write in
perpendicular. Ex- +0.50
+0.75
+5 .00
Toric transposition - for toric
transposition a base curve is
required. The following rule should
be observed for toric transposition.
● Sign of cylinder should be same
as sign of base curve. If not
change the sign of cylinder by
doing simple transposition.
● Power of new sphere= power of given
sphere minus power of base curve
● Power of cylinder No 1 = power of base
curve with same sign and axis rotated
900
● Power of cylinder No 2 = power of sign
given cylinder+ power of base curve
with same axis as of given cylinder
Ex -2.00Ds/-0.50Dc*900 BC= +5
1- Sign of cylinder should be same as
sign of base curve,sign of cylinder needs
to be changed by simple transposition.
=-2.50Ds/+0.50DC*1800
2- power of new sphere= -2.50-(+5.00)
= -7.50DS
Power of cylinder No 1= +5.00*900
Power of cylinder No 2 =
+0.50+(+5.00) =+5.50Dc*1800
Final prescription
-7.50DS/(+5.00Dc*900 )(+5.50DC*1800)
