    D90 = Ds + Dc*cos2a

    D180 = Ds + Dc*sin2a

    Ds is the sphere power, Dc is the cylinder power, a is the axis.

    Theta is aften described as the difference in the meridian in question and the major meridian or sph.

    In Roberts equation use the sin version and replace a or axis with the difference in axis as described above.
