We report on the effect of retrace error during measurement freeform optics using a commercial coherence scanning interferometer (CSI), and its in-built stitching capabilities. It is shown that measuring segments under non-null conditions, results in artifacts measured zone, similar to Seidel aberrations. An experimental approach used quantify induced aberrations based local slopes surface. Sim...

purpose: to study the distribution of ocular higher-order aberrations (hoas) and mesopic pupil size in individuals screened for refractive surgery. methods: ocular hoas and mesopic pupil size were studied in 2458 eyes of 1240 patients with myopia, simple myopic astigmatism and compound myopic astigmatism and 215 eyes of 110 patients with hyperopia, simple hyperopic astigmatism and compound hype...

800x600 to analyse the effect of congenital unilateral ptosis on the ocular higher order aberrations (hoa) and to compare these eyes with normal fellow eyes this study has been performed. in this observational comparative case series, 16 eyes of 16 patients less than 15 years old with congenital unilateral upper eyelid ptosis were included. corrected distance visual acuity (cdva), corneal topog...

Corneal and ocular aberrations were measured in a group of eyes before and after cataract surgery with spherical intraocular lens (IOL) implantation by use of well-tested techniques developed in our laboratory. By subtraction of corneal from total aberration maps, we also estimated the optical quality of the intraocular lens in vivo. We found that aberrations in pseudophakic eyes are not signif...

It is fairly well established that the higher-order aberrations of the eye fluctuate over relatively short time periods, but as yet there is no conclusive evidence regarding the origin of these fluctuations. We measured the aberrations and the pulse pressure wave simultaneously for five subjects. The aberrations were measured by using a Shack-Hartmann sensor sampling at 21.2 Hz. We decomposed t...

A fundamental problem facing sensory systems is to recover useful information about the external world from signals that are corrupted by the sensory process itself. Retinal images in the human eye are affected by optical aberrations that cannot be corrected with ordinary spectacles or contact lenses, and the specific pattern of these aberrations is different in every eye. Though these aberrati...

We made on-axis aberrations and horizontal peripheral refraction measurements of emmetropic subjects (spherical equivalent -0.88D to +0.75D) aged between 19 and 70 years. We found smaller changes in on-axis aberrations with age than has previously been reported, possibly because of the small refractive error range of our subject group. Higher order root-mean-squared aberrations increased by 26%...

Local minima or notches in the defocused contrast sensitivity function (CSF) have been linked to the aberrations of the eye. We use theoretical modeling of the effects of the aberrations to show these notches can be orientation-selective due to the effects of aberration terms such as coma and trefoil. Notches that changed with orientation were observed in the defocused CSF of four subjects. The...

A study of optical aberrations for flat lenses based on phase discontinuities is reported. The wave aberration function and the analytical expression of the aberrations up to the 4th order are derived to describe the performance of both ideal and practical flat lenses. We find that aberration-free focusing is possible under axial illumination but off-axis aberrations appear when the excitation ...
