Method, limitations, and references
Each principal meridian is converted independently using Fspectacle = Fcontact / (1 + d × Fcontact), where d is the vertex distance in metres. The two converted meridians are then recombined into sphere and cylinder. The displayed axis is unchanged by vertex conversion alone.
The rounded result rounds both converted principal meridians to the nearest 0.25 D before recombination. The unrounded result is included for auditability.
This version is specifically limited to single-vision soft toric package values. It does not support multifocal or monovision designs, RGP, scleral, hybrid, or orthokeratology lenses; prism; toric rotation compensation; accommodation; frame tilt or wrap; and any missing astigmatism.
