• Addresses astigmatism, a condition caused by an irregular cornea or lens shape.
• Positive or negative values signify the degree of astigmatism correction required.

• Specifies the angle (in degrees) for astigmatism correction.
• Ranges from 0 to 180; ensures proper alignment of the cylindrical power.
