“…15,16 Moreover, the perceived blur is very stable and consequently easy to grade for inexperienced subjects. Simulated images were used because they present several advantages, such as being equivalent to optically induced blur especially in the presence of defocus, spherical aberration, or coma.…”
Quality of vision with bifocal optics is highly subject dependent. Peripheral rays do not seem to play an important role in the through-focus quality of vision, as the central pupil area is more heavily weighted in determining subjective image quality.

“…This kind of simulated image has been proven to be equivalent to optically induced blur in the presence of defocus, spherical aberration, and coma. 17,19 Moreover, displaying a simulated image is highly stable compared with optically induced blur (e.g., with a deformable mirror), which makes the grading task easier, especially for subjects without any experience.…”
To balance distance, intermediate, and near quality of vision, a number of zones between 8 and 10 should be chosen. If the subject does not need intermediate quality of vision, then a profile with two to five zones should be favored.
“…For example, the effect of inducing aberrations or combinations of aberrations on expanding the depth-of-focus has been explored through AO aberrometers (Piers et al 2004; de Gracia et al 2011a, Legras et al 2012). Corrections such as segmented and diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses and the optical changes produced by refractive surgery have been simulated using AO.…”
Section: Adaptive Optics For Visual Evaluationmentioning
Adaptive optics is a relatively new field, yet it is spreading rapidly and allows new questions to be asked about how the visual system is organized. The editors of this feature issue have posed a series of question to scientists involved in using adaptive optics in vision science. The questions are focused on three main areas. In the first we investigate the use of adaptive optics for psychophysical measurements of visual system function and for improving the optics of the eye. In the second, we look at the applications and impact of adaptive optics on retinal imaging and its promise for basic and applied research. In the third, we explore how adaptive optics is being used to improve our understanding of the neurophysiology of the visual system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
