AI Article Synopsis
- Correcting spherical and chromatic aberrations in human eyes enhances visual clarity and contrast sensitivity significantly.
- Experiments using a model eye showed improvements in retinal images when longitudinal chromatic aberrations and spherical aberrations were corrected.
- The results demonstrated that correcting spherical aberrations provided greater contrast benefits compared to correcting chromatic aberrations, highlighting the advantages of using an aspheric achromatic intraocular lens (IOL).
Article Abstract
Correcting spherical and chromatic aberrations in vitro in human eyes provides substantial visual acuity and contrast sensitivity improvements. We found the same improvement in the retinal images using a model eye with/without correction of longitudinal chromatic aberrations (LCAs) and spherical aberrations (SAs). The model eye included an intraocular lens (IOL) and artificial cornea with human ocular LCAs and average human SAs. The optotypes were illuminated using a D65 light source, and the images were obtained using two-dimensional luminance colorimeter. The contrast improvement from the SA correction was higher than the LCA correction, indicating the benefit of an aspheric achromatic IOL.
