  10. What is the Wavefront? parallel beam = plane wavefront converging beam = spherical wavefront

  11. What is the Wavefront? parallel beam = plane wavefront ideal wavefront defocused wavefront

  12. What is the Wavefront? parallel beam = plane wavefront ideal wavefront aberrated beam = irregular wavefront

  13. What is the Wavefront? diverging beam = spherical wavefront aberrated beam = irregular wavefront ideal wavefront

  14. What is the Wave Aberration? diverging beam = spherical wavefront wave aberration

  15. Wavefront Aberration 3 2 1 mm (superior-inferior) 0 -1 -2 -3 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 mm (right-left) Wave Aberration: Defocus

  16. Wavefront Aberration 3 2 1 0 mm (superior-inferior) -1 -2 -3 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 mm (right-left) Wave Aberration: Astigmatism

  17. Wavefront Aberration 3 2 1 mm (superior-inferior) 0 -1 -2 -3 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 mm (right-left) Wave Aberration: Coma

  18. Wavefront Aberration 3 2 1 mm (superior-inferior) 0 -1 -2 -3 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 mm (right-left) Wave Aberration: All Terms

  19. How Do We Interpret the Wave Aberrations?

  20. Wave Aberration Surface Map

  21. Wave Aberration Contour Map 2 1.5 1 0.5 mm (superior-inferior) 0 -0.5 -1 -1.5 -2 -2.5 -2 -1 0 1 2 mm (right-left)

  23. Root Mean Square …… trefoil term defocus term astigmatism term astigmatism term

  24. Point Spread Function

  25. Point Spread Function vs. Pupil Size 1 mm 2 mm 3 mm 4 mm pupil images followed by psfs for changing pupil size 5 mm 6 mm 7 mm

  26. Simulated Images 20/20 letters 20/40 letters

  27. Strehl Ratio diffraction-limited PSF Hdl actual PSF Heye

  28. Area under the MTF Modulation Transfer Function 1 0.9 20/20 20/10 0.8 0.7 0.6 contrast 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 0 50 100 150 spatial frequency (c/deg)

  29. Applications for Aberrometry

  30. Can we Build a Better Autorefractor? choose the spectacle correction that minimizes the second order Zernike terms Coefficient value (microns) -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 1 2 astig. 3 2nd order defocus 4 astig. 5 trefoil 6 coma 3rd order 7 coma 8 trefoil 9 Zernike term 10 11 4th order spherical aberration 12 13 14 15 16 5th order 17 18 19 20

  31. Can we Build a Better Autorefractor? choose the spectacle correction that maximizes the strehl ratio perfect PSF defocus/astigmatism

  32. Can we Build a Better Autorefractor? choose the spectacle correction that maximizes the area under the MTF 4.5 4 3.5 3 Area under MTF (0 - 50 c/d) 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 0 1 -1 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 -1.4 -1.2 -0.8 -0.6 -0.4 -0.2 Defocus (D)

  33. Can we Build a Better Autorefractor? • Challenge • RMS, Strehl, and MTF area are not correlated • Solution • population data (Rochester, Indiana) • early results suggest maximizing metrics like the Strehl ratio works best

  34. Aberrometric Refraction • conventional autorefractors are accurate to ~ 0.5 D • aberrometric autorefractor should achieve ~ 0.1 D accuracy ** ** ± 0.25 D is an acceptable correction error
