against-the-rule astigmatism axis 90º

My comment:

"Against-the-rule astigmatism – the horizontal meridian is steepest"

"Axis is always recorded as an angle in degrees, between 0 and 180 degrees in a counter-clockwise direction. 0 and 180 lie on a horizontal line at the level of the centre of the pupil, and as seen by an observer, 0 lies on the right of both eyes."
