ADAPTIVE OPTIC BASED OPHTHALMIC INSTRUMENTS CAPABLE OF MEASURING ABERRATIONS OF A HUMAN EYE AND PREVIEWING OPTICAL COMPENSATION THERETO

摘要

Adaptive optics based ophthalmic instruments for use in examining or treating the eye, including ophthalmic examination instruments such as phoropters and autorefractors that measure and characterize the surface aberrations of the human eye in order to prescribe compensation for such aberrations via lenses, such as glasses or contact lens, or via surgical procedure such as laser refractive surgery, in addition to ophthalmic imaging instruments such as fundus cameras, corneal topographers, retinal topographers, corneal imaging devices, and retinal imaging devices, that capture images of the eye.
