Calculations and Measurements of the Visual Benefit of Correcting the Higher-order Aberrations Using Adaptive Optics Technology

Purpose Our goal was to examine the accuracy of metrics, calculated using a numerical eye model including the measurement of the monochromatic aberrations of the eye, to predict the contrast sensitivity (CS) and visual acuity (VA) visual benefits (VB) of correcting higher-order aberrations (HO).
