TLDR
The reduced eye was further modified by changing the refracting surface to an aspherical shape to reduce the amount of spherical aberration, providing an improved account of both the longitudinal and transverse forms of ocular chromatic aberration.
Abstract
New measurements of the chromatic difference of focus of the human eye were obtained with a two-color, vernier-alignment technique. The results were used to redefine the variation of refractive index of the reduced eye over the visible spectrum. The reduced eye was further modified by changing the refracting surface to an aspherical shape to reduce the amount of spherical aberration. The resulting chromatic-eye model provides an improved account of both the longitudinal and transverse forms of ocular chromatic aberration.

Chromatic aberration, accommodation, and color preference in asthenopia.

TL;DR: The color preferences of individuals are systematically influenced by the functioning of their accommodation and vergence systems with increased symptomatology resulting in color selections that reduce LCA accommodative stimulus demand.

The Development of an Average, Anatomically Based, Young Adult, GRIN Eye Model

TL;DR: The purpose of this thesis is to describe the development of an anatomically based, young adult eye model, which includes a crystalline lens with a gradient refractive index (GRIN), which will be used to investigate the effect of laser refractive surgery.

Optical aberrations in ametropic eyes and their change with corneal refractive surgery

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that although the polarisation state and wavelength of the illumination light affected the intensity patterns of the images obtained using reflectometric aberrometry (LRT and Hartmann Shack sensor), these changes did not affect the estimation of aberrations.

A test eye for wavefront eye refractors.

TL;DR: This type of test eye can detect systematic differences between various wavefront refractors and can serve as a useful calibration and comparison tool.

Uniformity of accommodation across the visual field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured ocular refractive state over the central 30° diameter of visual field as a function of foveal accommodative demand and found that the retina of the average eye is conjugate to a sphere of constant target vergence for all states of accommodation, even though individual eyes might deviate from the mean due to random variations.

The Frequency Response of a Defocused Optical System

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of a defocused aberration-free optical system to line-frequencies in the object is studied analytically, and curves are given showing the response as a function of line-frequency for a range of values of defect of focus.

Saccadic eye movements towards stimuli triggered by prior saccades.

TL;DR: The only finding reminiscent of perceptual “saccadic suppression” and mislocation effects is that a target which steps to a position ahead of a saccade is sometimes ignored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theory and measurement of ocular chromatic aberration.

TL;DR: One implication of these results is that, although the eye has substantial chromatic aberration, the pupil is positioned so as to minimize the transverse component of the aberration for central vision, thereby optimizing foveal image quality for polychromatic objects.

The change in refractive power of the human eye in dim and bright light.

TL;DR: It is concluded that setting optical instruments about 0.4 diopter more negatively in dim than in bright light is justified on the basis of the chromatic aberration of the eye.
