أسطوانة


Explanation:
من بيانات قياس النظر

Example sentence(s):
  • Cylinder (CYL). This indicates the amount of lens power for astigmatism. If nothing appears in this column, either you have no astigmatism, or your astigmatism is so slight that it is not really necessary to correct it with your eyeglass lenses.

cyl


Explanation:
I would leave sph, cyl, axis, as is. These are standard measures of eye sight, used globally. Or, you could leave English abbreviation between brackets.
