Quantifying Visual Acuity from Image Quality Metrics
February 2016 • Ayeswarya Ravikumar
Wavefront error (WFE) of the eye has been shown to vary from individual to individual and within an individual as a function of pupil diameter. Of current interest in the area of refractive correction development is the relationship between the aberration experienced by an eye, and resulting visual performance. In a set of experiments, WFE for both normal and keratoconic eyes were selected from published datasets. These WFEs were then used to generate computationally blurred logMAR acuity charts, simulating retina…
