Q

principle of adaptive optics

A

26
Q

does AO improve cone image?

27
Q

increase defocus, astigmatism, and spherical aberration, will decrease what?

A

optics ((lower zernikes) defocus, astigmatism, and spherical aberration have the most effect compared to other zernikes)

28
Q

lower zernikes affect optics more than higher zernikes (t/f)

29
Q

spherical aberration (zernike number)

A

12, (z4,0)

30
Q

present in all spherical optical surfaces/lenses) is variation in focus (power) as a function of ray height from pupil center.

A

spherical aberration

31
Q

Spherical aberration in diopters, LSA, equals what?

A

difference in vergence between peripheral rays (y2) and paraxial (central) rays (y1) in image space.

32
Q

Spherical aberration is considered _______ if peripheral rays focus in front of paraxial rays.

33
Q

Magnitude of spherical aberration is much larger in classical schematic eyes (with spherical surfaces) than
in what?

A

real human eyes

34
Q

peripheral rays focus more (in front) than central rays (t/f)

35
Q

n variation in fish lens _______ its optical power and ________ spherical aberration

A

increases, reduces

36
Q

gradient refractive index does what to positive SA?

37
Q

n is high in center of lens, what does that do?

A

central light rays focus more (in front), reduces positive SA

38
Q

Isolated crystalline lens has more power near the optical axis than near the equator. This cause ______ spherical aberration (SA) of crystalline lens itself.

39
Q

For crystalline lens, accommodation causes a larger increase in refractive power centrally than at the margins. Therefore, spherical aberration becomes_________ during accommodation.

A

even more negative

40
Q

Positive spherical aberration of _______ is balanced partially by negative aberration of lens.

41
Q

center of cornea is steep, while periphery is what?

42
Q

Cornea is ____ curved at its periphery than at its center.

This asphericity reduces the amount of positive spherical aberration.

43
Q

Typical eye has _________ when relaxed, but _________ when accommodating.

A

positive SA, negative SA

44
Q

index of refraction of lens is _____ near its power surface than at its center. This gradient of index produces _______.

A

lower, negative SA

45
Q

effect of accommodation on spherical aberration

A

increase accommodation, decrease spherical aberration (becomes negative)

46
Q

SA is minimized by about ____ accommodation on average.

47
Q

This change in sign (when accommodating) is due what?

A

the change in balance between positive corneal aberration and negative lens aberration.

48
Q

3rd order aberrations can
be used as sensitive
method for diagnosing ___________.

A

keratoconus

49
Q

Zernike Spectrum for normal eyes without correction of lower order aberrations (sphere and astigmatism). Notice that 93% of RMS comes from ___________!

A

sphere and cylinder in uncorrected eyes

50
Q

How are aberrations measured subjectively?

52
Q

Principles of the Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor

A

Sub-divide the wavefront with micro-lenslets.

Local slope determines spot position on video sensor.

53
Q

what happens when wavefront is aberrated using the shack hartmann sensor?

A

will have new focal point from where it should be

54
Q

The local slope (or the first derivative) of the wavefront is determined at what?

A

lenslet location

55
Q

• The _______________ is determined by a least squares fitting of the slopes to the derivative of a polynomial selected to fit the wavefront

A

corresponding wavefront

56
Q

____________ is one of the most commonly used way to describe eye’s wavefront aberrations

A

zernike polynomial

57
Q

which instrument is likely to give the most info about the optics of the eye?

A

aberrometer

58
Q

in most eyes high order aberrations are large compared to low order aberration. (t/f)

59
Q

high order aberrations decline with radial order and vary significantly from person to person (t/f)

60
Q

61
Q
