REFERENCE LINE ALONG LIMBUS AND IOL OPTIC
WERE PARALLEL

ACCORDING TO EQUATION OF STRAIGHT LINE, Y
= MX + C, SLOPE OF LINE THROUGH LIMBUS AND
IOL WAS DETERMINED
SLOPES WERE CALCULATED AS
M = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
WHERE (X1, Y1) & (X2, Y2) ARE ANY TWO
POINTS ON THE 2 LINES.
IF TWO STRAIGHT LINES ARE PARALLEL,
THERE SLOPES WILL BE
EQUAL; OR THE RATIO WILL BE 1.
