Simultaneous quantification of longitudinal and transverse ocular chromatic aberrations with Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor

A simple method to objectively and simultaneously measure eye's longitudinal and transverse chromatic aberrations was proposed.A dual-wavelength wavefront measurement system using two Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensors was developed.The wavefronts of the red(639.1 nm)and near-infrared(786.0 nm)lights were measured simultaneously for different positions in the model eye.The chromatic wavefronts were converted into Zernike polynomials.The Zernike tilt cofficient(irst term)was used to calculate the transverse chromatic aberration along the ax-direction,while the Zernike defocus coefficient(fourth term)was used to calculate the longi-tudinal chromatic aberration.The measurement and simulation data were consistent.

Objective quantification of chromatic aberration across the visual field of the human eye

A simple and straightforward method to objectively measure the transverse chromatic aberration （TCA） at horiq zontal field angles out to ±10° from the visual axis of the human eye was proposed. Longitudinal chromatic abetration （LCA） was also measured across the visual field. The TCA of a human eye was obtained by deviation of the point spread function （PSF） images. LCA was calculated from the Zernike defocus. The average TCA changing with eccentricity was 0.162 arcmin/degree between 639 nm and 795 nm wavelengths. Near the optic axis of the eye, the average LCA was 0.37 ± 0.02 D, and it increased slightly with eccentricity （up to 0.54 ± 0.02 D）.
