Exact parametric equations are deduced for the profiles of plano-aspheric lenses designed to produce axial stigmatism in a given axially symmetric pencil of rays. These formulae take an agreeably simple form in the special case where the point of stigmatism is at infinity. As an application, parametric equations are deduced for the corrector plate of the Schmidt Camera.
