Rx Galaxy

A visualization of the last 100,000 glasses prescriptions Dr. Burke has written — explore the shape of a career in refraction.

The more frequent an Rx, the larger its star.
Higher sphere magnitude sits further from plano (galactic centre) along the vertical spine.
More astigmatism → a wider orbit around the closest star.
The orbital position reflects the axis of the cyl.
