plus sign will move to the (right or left). Move this plus sign until it is exactly superimposed on the plus sign of the central focusing circle. This completes the setting for the near horizontal meridian. The scale of the left-hand or horizontal measuring drum indicates the actual dioptric power of the cornea in the horizontal or near horizontal meridian.

meridians nearest is established for the cornea in the meridians nearest to 0-180 degree. On the right, or vertical measuring drum the power it established form the cornea in the meridian nearest to 90 degree.
