Objective Measurement of Optical Aberrations in Myopic Eyes

To determine whether the degree of myopia affects the optical quality of the retinal image after appropriate correction, monochromatic aberrations of the human eye were measured as a function of the degree of myopia.Using a modified Hartmann-Shack method, a population of 27 myopic (up to -9.25 D) and 7 emmetropic optometry students (18-32 years) were objectively evaluated before and after pupil dilation. We then identified for each subject the...
