Perceptual impact of astigmatism induction in presbyopes

Abstract: We investigated the effect of induced astigmatism on subjective best focus and on visual acuity in 28 subjects of different ages (pre-presbyopic and presbyopic) and with different refractive profiles (emmetropes and astigmats). Measurements were performed using a custom-developed Adaptive Optics system, which allowed correction of high order aberrations and induction of astigmatism (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2.0 D; axis: 180º, 45º and 22.5º). Upon induction of astigmatism, best focus shifted towards negative values in p… Show more

“…For example, we observed that inducing astigmatism produced a larger visual degradation on non‐astigmatic subjects than on habitually corrected astigmats, with habitually non‐corrected astigmats showing the least sensitivity to astigmatism induction . Similar trends are observed in presbyopes wearing progressive addition lenses, with the stronger effect occurring on presbyopic astigmats . In fact, the shift in best focus upon astigmatism induction differs in against‐the‐rule and with‐the‐rule astigmats, and it also affected by the sign of spherical error of the patient .…”

“…26,27 Similar trends are observed in presbyopes wearing progressive addition lenses, with the stronger effect occurring on presbyopic astigmats. 28 In fact, the shift in best focus upon astigmatism induction differs in againstthe-rule and with-the-rule astigmats, and it also affected by the sign of spherical error of the patient. 29 Also, while habitually non-corrected astigmats show strong bias towards oriented blur (coincident with the orientation of their retinal blur), the isotropic focus shifts rapidly after astigmatic correction wear, being significant only two hours after correction.…”

“…The Visual Strehl ratio calculated from the combined wave aberrations have been shown to correlate well with visual acuity [57,58]. In particular, the defocus determined psychophysically appears to be captured well by the offset of the Visual Strehl peak [11,60], except for bias in the perceived best focus encountered in several refractive profiles, particularly astigmatic patients [61]. However, differences between on bench and in vivo data have been previously reported, without a clear reasoning behind them.…”
