title: Refractive error changes in mixed astigmatism.
abstract: The purpose of this note is to examine refractive error changes in children who change from mixed astigmatism to myopic astigmatism. Data were collected for 16 children who changed from mixed astigmatism to simple myopic or compound myopic astigmatism. Children with mixed astigmatism showed minimal refractive changes until they converted to myopic astigmatism, at which time refractive changes increased.
