Abstract

A young woman with a large astigmatic refractive error obtained no visual improvement with glasses. Repeated manifest refractions revealed persistent variations in the apparent cylinder axis. A suitable choice of spectacle frames facilitated a satisfactory outcome. The pitfalls inherent in the clinical specification of cylinder axis, and the potential visual consequences, are discussed.
