Three-dimensional relationship between high-order root-mean-square wavefront error, pupil diameter, and aging

Professional baseball players have small higher-order optical aberrations when tested with naturally dilated pupils. No clinically significant differences were found between the 2 aberrometers. Statistically significant differences in trefoil were found between the players and the control population; however, the difference was clinically insignificant. It seems as though the visual system of professional baseball players is limited by lower-order aberrations and that the smaller HOAs do not enhance visual function over that in a control population.

“…As a result, and in white light illumination, the naked eye with natural physiological pupil sizes is far from being diffraction limited. In addition, many experimental evidences 88,[98][99][100] suggest an approximately monotonic decline of optical quality with aging. Different authors judged quite differently the…”

“…Similarly, for a given order n, the magnitude of aberrations also decays with the azimuthal frequency m. 91 After applying these rules, it is patent that coma, trefoil and spherical aberration are the most important HOA in the eye, and these three present similar average values. 88 The remaining 4 th -order modes, tetrafoil, 4 th -order astigmatism and again 6 th -order spherical aberration have lower but significant average values.…”

Cornea, lens and eye models are analyzed and compared to experimental findings to assess properties and eventually unveil optical design principles involved in the structure and function of the optical system of the eye. Models and data often show good match but also some paradoxes. The optical design seems to correspond to a wide angle lens. Compared to conventional optical systems, the eye presents a poor optical quality on axis, but a relatively good quality off-axis, thus yielding higher homogeneity for a wide visual field. This seems the result of an intriguing combination of the symmetry design principle with a total lack of rotational symmetry, decentrations and misalignments of the optical surfaces (J Optom 2009;2:3-18 ©2009 Spanish Council of Optometry) KEY WORDS: human eye's optical design; eye models; design principles; ocular aberrations; optical quality of the eye. RESUMENEn este trabajo, los modelos de córnea, de cristalino y de ojo se analizan y se comparan con los datos experimentales para evaluar las propiedades y, eventualmente, para desvelar los principios del diseño óptico que afectan a la estructura y al funcionamiento del sistema óptico del ojo humano. A menudo encontramos una coincidencia razonable entre los modelos y los datos experimentales, pero también se ponen de manifiesto algunas paradojas. El diseño óptico parece corresponderse con el de un gran angular. En comparación con los sistemas ópticos convencionales, el ojo tiene una mala calidad óptica en eje pero, por el contrario, presenta una calidad relativamente buena fuera de eje, proporcionando así una gran homogeneidad a una amplia extensión del campo visual. Este hecho parece ser el resultado de una curiosa combinación del principio de diseño simétrico con una total ausencia de simetría de rotación, con descentramientos y con una deficiente alineación de las superficies ópticas. (J Optom 2009;2:3-18 ©2009 Consejo General de Colegios de Ópticos-Optometristas de España) PALABRAS CLAVE: diseño óptico del ojo humano; modelos de ojo; principios de diseño; aberraciones oculares; calidad óptica del ojo.
