Article Abstract
Clinical Relevance: Myopia has become a public health priority as its prevalence increases worldwide, and in clinical practice, the precise evaluation of refraction errors is necessary.
Background: This study aimed to compare objective and subjective refraction measured by a binocular wavefront optometer (BWFOM) in adults with conventional objective and subjective refractions measured by an optometrist.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 119 eyes of 119 participants (34 men and 85 women; mean age:27.5 ± 6.3 years). Refractive errors were measured using BWFOM and conventional methods, with and without cycloplegia. The mean outcome measures were spherical power, cylindrical power, and spherical equivalence (SE). The agreement test was assessed using a two-tailed paired t-test and Bland - Altman plots.
Results: Under noncycloplegic conditions, there were no significant differences in the objective SE between BWFOM and Nidek. Significant differences in subjective SE were observed between BWFOM and conventional subjective refraction (-5.79 ± 1.86 vs -5.65 ± 1.75 D, < 0.01). Under cycloplegic conditions, the mean objective SE was significantly different between BWFOM and Nidek (-5.70 ± 1.76 vs -5.50 ± 1.83 D, < 0.001); the mean subjective SE was significantly different between BWFOM and conventional subjective refractions (-5.52 ± 1.77 vs -5.62 ± 1.79 D, < 0.001). The Bland - Altman plots revealed mean percentages of 95.38% and 95.17% for the points within the limits of agreement between BWFOM and conventional measurements and those between noncycloplegic and cycloplegic refractions, respectively.
Conclusion: The BWFOM is a new device that measures both objective and subjective refraction. It is more convenient and faster to obtain a proper prescription at a 0.05-D interval. The subjective refraction results of the BWFOM and the conventional subjective refraction were in good agreement.

Space-based segmented telescopes are susceptible to mirror misalignments because of temperature and mechanical perturbations in orbit. Monitoring the misalignment status of each mirror is a prerequisite to aligning the telescope promptly and maintaining image quality. In this paper, an online monitoring method based on an improved vision transformer network is proposed.

- Optical aberrations in telescopes prevent them from achieving their best possible clarity, but these can be corrected using deformable mirrors guided by real-time data about the aberrations from images.
- Current methods for detecting these aberrations depend on potentially flawed physical models, which can hinder the correction process.
- This study proposes a new approach using model-free reinforcement learning to improve the estimation and correction of aberrations using phase diversity images, showing effective performance even under various conditions and noise levels.
Optical beams and starlight distorted by atmospheric turbulence can be corrected with adaptive optics systems to enable efficient coupling into single-mode fibers. Deformable mirrors, used to flatten the wavefront in astronomical telescopes, are costly, sensitive, and complex mechanical components that require careful calibration to enable high-quality imaging in astronomy, microscopy, and vision science. They are also impractical to deploy in large numbers for non-imaging applications like free-space optical communication.

Methods: Consecutive myopic patients planning to receive refractive surgery with ages between 18 and 50 years old were retrospectively enrolled. The subjective and wavefront-measured refraction (InnovEyes platform) were compared, and the influential factors for the measurement difference were analyzed.

We compared the visual performance of ZCB00 ultraviolet light-filtering and ZCB00V violet light-filtering monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (both Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision) with the same materials and basic design in cataract patients treated from 2011 to 2020. The evaluations were performed 10 weeks after the last surgery for implantation of bilateral lenses ≤ 3 months apart. The ZCB00 and ZCB00V groups included 904 eyes from 452 patients (age 72.
