JCC red dot along final axis
*flip and let the px compare if the two positions are equal or clear or the other is distinctively better or clearer than the other
*if red dot is near the Final axis, add more (-) cyl.
*if white dot is near the Final axis, dec. (-) cyl. Check for Sphere Component: Duo Chrome Test: -room illumination -compare letters inside the red and green chart
