Simultaneously measuring ocular aberration and anterior segment biometry during accommodation [PDF]
In the human eye, accommodation is essential for functional vision. However, the mechanisms regulating accommodation and the ocular parameters affecting aberrations remain to be explored.

Reaching the fundamental sensitivity limit of wavefront sensing on arbitrary apertures with the Phase Induced Amplitude Apodized Zernike Wavefront Sensor (PIAA-ZWFS) [PDF]
In the last two decades many people have been searching for the optimal wavefront sensor as it can boost the performance of high-contrast imagining by orders of magnitude on the ELTs. According classical information theory, the optimal sensitivity of a wavefront sensor is 1/2 radian rms per photon.

Soft X‐ray wavefront sensing at an ellipsoidal mirror shell
Phase retrieval at an axisymmetric ellipsoidal mirror is demonstrated with soft X‐rays (277 eV), completed by a reconstruction of the focus as well as figure and alignment error of the mirror. Based on simple measurements of the cross‐focal, three‐dimensional intensity distribution, an intuitive algorithm is proposed which combines the advantages of ...

A new low-cost, compact, auto-phoropter for refractive assessment in developing countries
Using a phoropter to measure the refractive error is one of the most commonly used methods by ophthalmologists and optometrists. Here, we demonstrate design and fabrication of a portable automatic phoropter with no need for patient’s feedback. The system

Gaze and behavioural metrics in the refractive correction of presbyopia
Abstract Purpose To investigate gaze and behavioural metrics at different viewing distances with multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs), single vision contact lenses (SVCLs) and progressive addition lenses (PALs). Methods Fifteen presbyopic contact lens wearers participated over five separate study visits.

Detection of significant vision conditions in children using QuickSee wavefront autorefractor
Abstract Purpose This study evaluated the ability of QuickSee to detect children at risk for significant vision conditions (significant refractive error [RE], amblyopia and strabismus). Methods Non‐cycloplegic refraction (using QuickSee without and with +2 dioptre (D) fogging lenses) and unaided binocular near visual acuity (VA) were measured in 4‐ to ...

Ametropia detection using a novel, compact wavefront autorefractor
Abstract Introduction Despite the well‐known reproducibility issues of subjective refraction, most studies evaluating autorefractors compared differences between the device and subjective refraction. This work evaluated the performance of a novel handheld Hartmann–Shack‐based autorefractor using an alternative protocol, which considered the inherent ...

Spectrally resolved single-shot wavefront sensing of broadband high-harmonic sources [PDF]
Wavefront sensors are an important tool to characterize coherent beams of extreme ultraviolet radiation. However, conventional Hartmann-type sensors do not allow for independent wavefront characterization of different spectral components that may be present in a beam, which limits their applicability for intrinsically broadband high-harmonic generation
