The Zernike polynomials are a complete set of continuous functions orthogonal over a unit
circle. Since first developed by Zernike in 1934, they have been in widespread use in many …

In this paper we review a special set of orthonormal functions, namely Zernike polynomials
which are widely used in representing the aberrations of optical systems. We give the …

This book describes the optical structure and optical properties of the human eye. For ease
of reference, the most commonly useful topics are at the beginning and topics with narrower …

The expansion of wavefront-sensing techniques redefined the meaning of refractive error in
clinical ophthalmology. Clinical aberrometers provide detailed measurements of the eye's …

PURPOSE: To compare aberrometry measurements from multiple sites and compute mean
Zernike coefficients and root-mean-square (RMS) values for the entire data pool to serve as …

Purpose: This retrospective longitudinal study aimed to examine the relationship between
ocular higher-order aberrations (HOA) and axial eye growth in young myopic children …

It is well accepted that the accommodation system is characterized by steady-state errors in
focus. The purpose of this study was to correlate these errors with changes in ocular …

We report root-mean-square (RMS) wavefront error (WFE) for individual aberrations and
cumulative high-order (HO) RMS WFE for the normal human eye as a function of age by …

Purpose.: To compare total ocular aberrations and corneal aberrations identified with four
different aberrometers and to determine the repeatability and interobserver variability …

It has been suggested that high levels of axial aberration or specific patterns of peripheral
refraction could play a role in myopia development. Possible mechanisms involving high …
