Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was introduced in ophthalmology a decade ago.
Within a few years in vivo imaging of the healthy retina and optic nerve head and of retinal …

Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology used to improve the performance of optical systems by
reducing the effects of optical aberrations. The direct visualization of the photoreceptor cells …

A novel deformable mirror using 52 independent magnetic actuators (MIRAO 52, Imagine
Eyes) is presented and characterized for ophthalmic applications. The capabilities of the …

As the human eye ages, the crystalline lens stiffens (presbyopia) and opacifies (cataract),
requiring its replacement with an artificial lens [intraocular lens (IOL)]. Cataract surgery is the …

An auto-referenced interferometric method for calibrating phase modulation of parallel-
aligned liquid crystal (PAL) spatial light modulators (SLM) is described. The method is …

The application of a commercially available spatial light modulator (SLM) to control the
spatial intensity distribution of a nanosecond pulsed laser for micromachining is described …

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

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 …

Handbook of Visual Optics offers an authoritative overview of encyclopedic knowledge in the
field of physiological optics. It builds from fundamental concepts to the science and …

PURPOSE: To explore the impact of spherical aberration (SA) on contrast sensitivity using
an adaptive optics vision simulator to determine the optimal amount of SA to include in …
