Resumen: A new, to the best of our knowledge, optical element designed to compensate regular astigmatism while exhibiting increased tolerance to rotational misalignment is introduced. The element incorporates an optical design based on concentric annular regions with slightly different cylindrical axis angular positions. To assess visual quality performance as a function of rotation, retinal image simulation and clinical assessments with an adaptive optics visual simulator were carried out. The results demonstrate the superior performance of the newly proposed element in the presence of rotational errors when compared to traditional solutions.
