Purpose: To determine the intrasubject repeatability of a recently introduced dual-camera rotating Scheimpflug-Placido imaging system (Galilei G4) in determining corneal thickness, power, and wavefront aberrations in young healthy subjects.
Setting: University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain.
Design: Prospective evaluation of diagnostic technology.
Methods: The study comprised right eyes of 25 subjects aged 20 to 40 years with a spherical equivalent ranging from -4.25 to +1.00 diopters. The central corneal thickness, thinnest point value and location, anterior and posterior surface curvatures, total corneal power, and corneal wavefront aberrations were measured for distance vision using the dual Scheimpflug-Placido system. Three consecutive measurements were taken in each eye.
Results: Twenty-five eyes were evaluated. Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed the only statistically significant difference between the 3 repeated measures to be in trefoil aberration. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were higher than 0.950 for all the parameters except the thinnest point chord distance to geometric corneal center (0.528) and chord angle (0.742), corneal astigmatism (0.811) and its vector components J0 (0.891) and J45 (0.724), and all wavefront aberrations.
Conclusions: The new dual Scheimpflug-Placido system had high intraobserver repeatability for corneal power and thickness and moderate repeatability for corneal astigmatism and corneal wavefront aberrations in healthy corneas with low astigmatism. This iteration of the device performed better in young healthy corneas than preceding versions.

This study aims to analyze the prevalence and severity of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and glistening in a new hydrophobic biaspheric monofocal intraocular lens (IOLs) 24 months after implantation. By means of a ambispective, observational, case-control design, a total of 297 eyes from 200 cataract surgery patients were included in the study (118 females and 82 males; mean age: 72.31 ± 9.

As the demand for computational performance in artificial intelligence (AI) continues to increase, diffractive deep neural networks (DNNs), which can perform AI computing at the speed of light by repeated optical modulation with diffractive optical elements (DOEs), are attracting attention. DOEs are varied in terms of fabrication methods and materials, and among them, volume holographic optical elements (vHOEs) have unique features such as high selectivity and multiplex recordability for wavelength and angle. However, when those are used for DNNs, they suffer from unknown wavefront aberrations compounded by multiple fabrication errors.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems acquire images with spectral information over a wide range of wavelengths but are often affected by chromatic and other optical aberrations that degrade image quality. Deconvolution algorithms can improve the spatial resolution of HSI systems, yet retrieving the point spread function (PSF) is a crucial and challenging step. To address this challenge, we have developed a method for PSF estimation in HSI systems based on computed wavefronts.

Thermal deformation compensation scheme to the sub-nanometre level of a piezoelectric offset mirror for MHz repetition rate free-electron laser.

Free-electron laser (FEL) facilities operating at MHz repetition rates can emit lasers with average powers reaching hundreds of watts. Partial absorption of this power induces thermal deformation of a few micrometres on the mirror surface. Such deformation degrades the characteristics of the reflected photon beam, leading to focal spot aberrations and wavefront distortions that fail to meet experimental requirements.
