Near work induced wavefront aberrations in myopia

Near work induced wavefront aberrations in myopia

We undertook a detailed analysis of the wavefront aberrations of the eyes of 20 young progressing myopes (mean age=22 years; mean spherical equivalent=-3.84 D, range -1.00 to -7.5 D) and twenty young age matched emmetropes (mean age=23 years; mean spherical equivalent=-0.00 D, range +0.25 to -0.25 D). A wavefront sensor was used to measure the ocular wavefront and a videokeratoscope was used to...

Predictive control of thermally induced wavefront aberrations.

In this paper we experimentally demonstrate the proof of concept for predictive control of thermally induced wavefront aberrations in optical systems. On the basis of the model of thermally induced wavefront aberrations and using only past wavefront measurements, the proposed adaptive optics controller is able to predict and to compensate the future aberrations. Furthermore, the proposed contro...

Wavefront Aberrations

Lower order aberrations are another way to describe refractive errors: myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, correctible with glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery. Lower order aberrations is a term used in wavefront technology to describe second-order Zernike polynomials. Second-order Zernike terms represent the conventional aberrations defocus (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism). Lower o...

Monochromatic aberrations and myopia

The monochromatic aberrations present in the eyes of a group of 21 young myopic subjects and 16 young emmetropic subjects were measured along the visual axis at three levels of accommodation. The aberrations were measured using a modified aberroscope technique which makes use of a retinal camera to photograph the shadow image of the aberroscope grid on the retina, while accommodation levels of ...
