Improvement in retinal image quality with dynamic correction of the eye’s aberrations
Open accessAbstract
We measured the improvement in retinal image quality provided by correcting the temporal variation in the eye's wave aberration with a closed-loop adaptive optics system. This system samples the eye's wave aberration at rates up to 30 Hz. Correction of the eye's aberrations can be completed in 0.25-0.5 seconds, resulting in residual rms wave-front errors as low as 0.1 microns for 6.8 mm pupils. Real-time wave-front measurements were used to determine how effectively the spatial and temporal components of the eye's wave aberration were corrected. The system provides dynamic correction of fluctuations in Zernike modes up to 5 th order with temporal frequency components up to 0.8 Hz. Temporal performance is in good agreement with predictions based on theory. Correction of the temporal variation in the eye's wave aberration increases the Strehl ratio of the point spread function nearly 3 times, and increases the contrast of images of cone photoreceptors by 33% compared with images taken with only static correction of the eye's higher order aberrations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
