We demonstrate a simplified arrangement for spatiotemporal ultrashort pulse characterization called Hartmann-Shack assisted, multidimensional, shaper-based technique for electric-field reconstruction. It employs an acousto-optic pulse shaper in combination with a second-order nonlinear crystal and a Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor. The shaper is used as a tunable bandpass filter, and the wavefronts and intensities of quasimonochromatic spectral slices of the pulse are obtained using the Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor. The wavefronts and intensities of the spectral slices are related to one another using shaper-assisted frequency-resolved optical gating measurements, performed at particular points in the beam. This enables a three-dimensional reconstruction of the amplitude and phase of the pulse. We present some example pulse measurements and discuss the operating parameters of the device.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how to use a special method called Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to understand and simplify complicated data about eye focus called wavefront aberrations.
- Researchers collected data from 191 people to see how their eyes change focus and made adjustments for different pupil sizes.
- They found that PCA helped to keep almost all the important information in a simpler form, and the new data they created using PCA was very similar to the original data they collected!
Purpose: To evaluate the intrasession repeatability of wavefront aberrations obtained by a combined adaptive optics visual simulator and Hartman-Shack aberrometer in pseudophakic eyes with and without previous corneal refractive surgery.
Methods: Three consecutive measurements were performed in one eye of each individual. Total ocular aberrations were recorded up to the 5th Zernike order for a 4.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare outcomes of a new pentafocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a trifocal IOL after cataract surgery in terms of visual performance and comfort.
- Patients with the pentafocal IOL showed better intermediate vision and a flatter defocus curve compared to those with the trifocal IOL, while distance and near vision were similar in both groups.
- Quality of vision scores indicated patients with the pentafocal IOL experienced fewer optical disturbances (like glare and halos) compared to those with the trifocal IOL, suggesting better overall satisfaction.
Frequency-dependent effects of 0.05% atropine eyedrops on myopia progression and peripheral defocus: a prospective study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of 0.05% atropine eyedrops in slowing myopia progression in children, focusing on how different application frequencies affect peripheral refraction (PR).
- One hundred thirty-eight myopic children were assigned to groups based on the frequency of atropine usage: daily, twice per week, or once a week, with measurements taken over one year to assess changes in spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL).
- Results showed that daily use (7/7) led to the slowest myopia progression and demonstrated a myopic shift in PR, whereas the once-a-week group (1/7) experienced more significant myopia progression and different shifts in relative peripheral refraction across the retina.
The Influence of Accommodative Demand on Ocular Aberrations: A Study of Zernike Coefficients Repeatability and Variability.

Purpose: To evaluate the repeatability of the Zernike coefficients in healthy eyes when monocular accommodation was stimulated at different vergences demands.
Methods: A total of 36 right eyes from healthy volunteers were prospectively and consecutively recruited for this study. Wavefront aberrometry was conducted to objectively characterize the ocular optical quality during accommodation, from the individual's far point to a 5 D accommodation demand in steps of 0.
