WEBJul 1, 1999 · Symmetrical astigmatism is suggested when roughly equal curvature weightings can be seen along either a vertical or horizontal axis (Fig. 1). The upper left image presents marked symmetrical WTR astigmatism (5.00D), while the upper right image represents moderate symmetrical ATR astigmatism (1.75D).

Astigmatism - SpringerLink
WEBAug 26, 2022 · With-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism refers to corneal astigmatism wherein the steep meridian of the cornea is at 90° (±20°): the range for WTR is 70–110°. We can imagine WTR astigmatism as a football placed down horizontally, as if the center is getting ready to snap it to the quarterback (Fig. 4 ).
6 Pearls for Managing Astigmatism During Lens-Based Surgery
WEBJun 1, 2014 · Posterior corneal astigmatism optically functions like a negative lens. As a result, WTR posterior corneal astigmatism functionally adds to the total ocular against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism. On average, corneas with anterior WTR astigmatism have about 0.5 D of WTR posterior corneal astigmatism.
