We investigated limits at which induced blur becomes noticeable, troublesome and objectionable. We used 15 cyclopleged subjects, a Badal optometer with lines of three high contrast letters as targets, 3-6 mm artificial pupils, and 0.0-0.7 logMAR letter sizes. For 0.0 logMAR size, mean "noticeable" blur limits were +/-0.33D, +/-0.30D and +/-0.28D at 3 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm, respectively, but increased by about 70% for 0.7 logMAR letters. All limits reduced by about 17% as pupil size increased from 3 mm to 6 mm. Letter size had a significant influence on all blur limits (1.6-2.1 times), but blur direction had no significant effect. Magnitudes of "troublesome" and 'objectionable" limits were 1.6-1.8 times and 2.1-2.5 times relative to "noticeable" limits, respectively. Our results suggest criteria for troublesome and objectionable blur are relatively unaffected by letter size.

Purpose: We compared subjective blur limits for defocus and the higher-order aberrations of coma, trefoil, and spherical aberration.
Methods: Spherical aberration was presented in both Zernike and Seidel forms. Black letter targets (0.

We extended an earlier study (Vision Research, 45, 1967-1974, 2005) in which we investigated limits at which induced blur of letter targets becomes noticeable, troublesome and objectionable. Here we used a deformable adaptive optics mirror to vary spherical defocus for conditions of a white background with correction of astigmatism; a white background with reduction of all aberrations other than defocus; and a monochromatic background with reduction of all aberrations other than defocus. We used seven cyclopleged subjects, lines of three high-contrast letters as targets, 3-6 mm artificial pupils, and 0.

MR also provides excellent resolution of certain tumors of the head and neck and is particularly useful for the evaluation of neoplasms in the vicinity of the skull base. The absence of a bone signal prevents the streaking artifact so troublesome with computerized axial tomography (CT) and allows better definition of tumor.
