I am using a Standard Surface to model a concave mirror in non-sequential mode. The curvature of the mirror is defined with the Radius parameter.

To correct for aberrations I want to use two different radii, one along X and one along Y. Which object should I use for this purpose?

I think the surface you may be looking for is a biconic surface.
