Optical quality and intraocular scattering in a healthy young population

Background:  We objectively assessed the optical quality and intraocular scattering by means of parameters provided by a clinical double‐pass system in healthy young subjects and thereby we obtained new reference data for clinical diagnosis. We calculated normal values of neural contrast sensitivity function (nCSF) from the measured modulation transfer function (MTF) and the contrast sensitivity function (CSF).
