If you have a cylinder correction you must by definition also have an axis and visa versa. They mean that you have astigmatism and how it's corrected. I used to have a 2.0 cylinder at an axis of 90 degrees. When I had cataract surgery that was partially corrected but I don't recall what it is now except that it's somewhat better.
I lost central vision in my left eye to AMD 25 years ago so they don't bother trying to correct my astigmatism in that eye. A couple of years ago the AMD popped up in my right eye, but they have better treatment now so I get an injection into my eyeball every ten weeks and so far it's been working to preserve what vision I have left.
