brainteaser: change a value by 90 (but answer must lie between 0-180 )

As a rule, ophthalmologists write scripts in minus cylinder whereas optometrists write scripts in plus cylinder. Why these two professions cannot get together and decide on a common method of reporting refractive error is impossible to explain, but if you have ever had competing siblings in your family, you may get an idea why this has not yet occurred. To convert a minus cylinder form prescription into plus cylinder, or to convert the plus cylinder form into minus cylinder, do the following: 1) Add the sphere and cylinder powers together; this becomes the new sphere power. 2) Change the sign of the cylinder power, from minus (-) to plus (+) or from plus (+) to minus (-). 3) Change the axis value by 90°, remembering that the axis must be a number from 1 to 180. The following lens prescriptions, therefore, are equivalent and interchangeable ************************************************** ********************************** |
