Abstract
The relation between the variation of power and astigmatism in a progressive power optical element is considered. The classical Minkwitz identity is revisited. Then, it is shown how to extend this identity, which applies to the geometry of surfaces, to optical parameters that are determined by the geometry of reflected or refracted wavefronts.
