Customized Correction of Wavefront Aberrations in Abnormal Human Eyes by Using a Phase Plate and a Customized Contact Lens
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wavefront aberrations in human eyes were measured with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. Based on the measured wavefront aberrations, customized optics, such as phase plates and a customized contact lens, were designed and fabricated to compensate for higher-order wavefront aberrations in human eyes. The fabricated customized optics could successfully correct higherorder aberrations in human eyes and improve retinal image quality, and compensating for such aberrations with customized optics might be a promising technique to improve human vision.

Generation of Higher Order Aberrations with Soft Contact Lens by Excimer Laser Ablation
Although the human eye has a relatively simple optical system, it is not perfect. It has been well known that the human eye suffers from the wavefront aberration that includes both lower (defocus and astigmatism) and higher order aberrations. The lower order aberration has been effectively corrected with conventional ophthalmic lenses such as spectacles and contact lenses. However, it is more c...
متن کاملVision improvement by correcting higher-order aberrations with customized soft contact lenses in keratoconic eyes.
Higher-order aberration correction in abnormal eyes can result in significant vision improvement, especially in eyes with abnormal corneas. Customized optics such as phase plates and customized contact lenses are one of the most practical, nonsurgical ways to correct these ocular higher-order aberrations. We demonstrate the feasibility of correcting higher-order aberrations and improving visual...
متن کاملLimitations of the ocular wavefront correction with contact lenses
We analyze theoretically, by means of both computer simulations and laboratory experiments, the limitations of correcting aberrations with ideal customized contact lenses. Four experiments are presented: In the first one, we have analyzed the limitations of a static correction on the dynamic wavefront. In the second one, we studied the rotations of a contact lens on the eye using an optical met...

PURPOSE To psychophysically demonstrate vision improvement when correcting higher-order aberrations with phase plates in normal eyes. METHODS The wavefront aberrations of three nonsurgical normal eyes were measured with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. With these measured aberrations, phase plates were fabricated using a lathing technique. Theoretical improvement in retinal image quality wa...

PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of correcting ocular higher order aberrations (HOAs) in keratoconus (KC) using wavefront-guided optics in a scleral lens prosthetic device (SLPD). METHODS Six advanced KC patients (11 eyes) were fitted with an SLPD with conventional spherical optics. A custom-made Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor was used to measure aberrations through a dilated pupil wea...
