Simultaneous quantification of longitudinal and transverse ocular chromatic aberrations with Hartmann–Shack wavefront sensor

A simple method to objectively and simultaneously measure eye’s longitudinal and transverse chromatic aberrations was proposed. A dual-wavelength wavefront measurement system using two Hartmann–Shack wavefront sensors was developed. The wavefronts of the red (639.1nm) and near-infrared (786.0nm) lig...

Description
Summary:A simple method to objectively and simultaneously measure eye’s longitudinal and transverse chromatic aberrations was proposed. A dual-wavelength wavefront measurement system using two Hartmann–Shack wavefront sensors was developed. The wavefronts of the red (639.1nm) and near-infrared (786.0nm) lights were measured simultaneously for different positions in the model eye. The chromatic wavefronts were converted into Zernike polynomials. The Zernike tilt coefficient (first term) was used to calculate the transverse chromatic aberration along the x-direction, while the Zernike defocus coefficient (fourth term) was used to calculate the longitudinal chromatic aberration. The measurement and simulation data were consistent.
