The longitudinal chromatic aberration of the human eye, and its correction
Peter A. Howarth,Arthur Bradley +1 more
TLDR
The human eye suffers from longitudinal chromatic aberration, and this has been thought to average approximately 1.75 D between 420 and 660 nm, but recent measures of the eye's longitudinal aberration suggest that the average may be substantially greater than the above value, in which case lenses based on this figure should be inadequate.About:

Statistical variation of aberration structure and image quality in a normal population of healthy eyes.
TL;DR: It is inferred that subjective best focus occurs when the area of the central, aberration-free region of the pupil is maximized, and that correction of the 12 largest principal components, or 14 largest Zernike modes, would be required to achieve diffraction-limited performance on average for a 6-mm pupil.

Anatomically accurate, finite model eye for optical modeling
Hwey-Lan Liou,Noel A. Brennan +1 more
TL;DR: The new model eye provides spherical aberration values within the limits of empirical results and predicts chromatic aberration for wavelengths between 380 and 750 nm and provides a model for calculating optical transfer functions and predicting optical performance of the eye.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chromatic eye: a new reduced-eye model of ocular chromatic aberration in humans
TL;DR: 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.
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 contribution of color to motion in normal and color-deficient observers
Patrick Cavanagh,Stuart Anstis +1 more
TL;DR: The equivalent contrast measure provided an excellent basis for classifying normal, protan and deutan observers and attribute the perception of the motion of equiluminous stimuli to an opponent-color input to directionally selective cortical units.

TL;DR: In this article, an anatomical description of the eye, physiological optics, the dioptrics of eye, the sensations of vision, and the perceptions of vision are discussed, with a focus on the visual cortex.

The change in refractive power of the human eye in dim and bright light.
George Wald,Donald R. Griffin +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Objective measurements of the longitudinal chromatic aberration of the human eye.
TL;DR: The optimum refraction at a series of wavelengths was determined by direct photoelectric measurement of the halfwidth of the double-pass, line-spread function by compared with the subjectively-estimated longitudinal chromatic aberration for the same eye.
