ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Root mean square (RMS) wavefront error may not be the best
metric for predicting a patient's visual function; other metrics should be considered. We …

The expansion of wavefront-sensing techniques redefined the meaning of refractive error in
clinical ophthalmology. Clinical aberrometers provide detailed measurements of the eye's …

Wavefront-guided refractive surgery and custom optical corrections have reduced the
residual root mean squared (RMS) wavefront error in the eye to relatively low levels …

Purpose. Despite the proliferation of wavefront sensors to characterize the optical quality of
individual eyes, there is not yet an accurate way to determine from a wave aberration how …

Over the last 50 years, the goal of refractive surgery has been to eliminate the refractive error
of the eye resulting in emmetropia. The measures of outcome have included the uncorrected …

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: This paper reviews the currently used visual function diagnostic
metrics, acuity, refractive error, and contrast sensitivity, and suggests ways to create new …

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To develop s ingle-valued wavefront aberration metrics that
correlate strongly with visual performance. The purpose of this study is to explore whether …

It is well known that the wavefront error (WFE) of the eye varies from individual to individual
with pupil diameter (PD) and age. Numerous studies have been proposed evaluating the …

We explored the impact of the eye's higher-order aberrations on subjective refraction
comparing two classes of methods for estimating refractive state, one based directly on the …

PURPOSE: To compare wavefront-derived metrics to predict subjective quality of vision after
laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology …
