Adaptive optics is a relatively new field, yet it is spreading rapidly and allows new questions
to be asked about how the visual system is organized. The editors of this feature issue have …

A quarter century ago, we were limited to a macroscopic view of the retina inside the living
eye. Since then, new imaging technologies, including confocal scanning laser …

Principles of Adaptive Optics describes the foundations, principles, and applications of
adaptive optics (AO) and its enabling technologies. This leading textbook addresses the …

It has been suggested that emmetropic and low‐hyperopic eyes in which the refractive error
in the periphery of the visual field is relatively hyperopic with respect to the axial refraction …

Compared to most ophthalmic technologies, adaptive optics, or AO, is relatively young. The
first working systems were presented in 1997 and, owing in part to its complexity, the …

The human eye is a relatively simple optical instrument. This limits the quality of the retinal
image affecting vision. However, the neural circuitry seems to be exquisitely designed to …

We have developed a hybrid adaptive-optics visual simulator (HAOVS), combining two
different phase-manipulation technologies: an optically addressed liquid-crystal phase …

The progression of myopia is thought to be controlled by the retinal image quality, but its
triggering factors are not yet well known. The differences between the peripheral optics in …

A revision of the current state‐of‐the‐art adaptive optics technology for visual sciences is
provided. The human eye, as an optical system able to generate images onto the retina …

The recent observation that central refractive development might be controlled by the
refractive errors in the periphery, also in primates, revived the interest in the peripheral …
