L'aberrométrie a pour but de mesurer et quantifier l'ensemble des aberrations de l'œil. Le principe consiste à envoyer dans l'œil un front d’onde plan, correspondant à un faisceau de rayons parallèles provenant de l'infini. Dans un œil parfait, ce faisceau vient converger sur la rétine puis est réfléchi et ressort par la cornée sous la forme d’un front d’onde plan F [...] L'aberrométrie consiste à mesurer la forme du front d’onde à la sortie de la pupille de l'œil. 4, record 2, French, - aberrom%C3%A9trie

During the LASIK procedure, the laser can be programmed in a variety of different ways. Initially we utilized only the refraction to guide the programming of the laser. ... Two other options which are available are wavefront-optimized and wavefront-guided laser treatments. ... Wavefront-guided treatments utilize a device to measure your eyes' wave of light -- that is, it measures the exact prescription of your eye across many points throughout your pupil. ... Wavefront-guided treatments may be particularly useful in patients who have high degrees of pre-existing higher order aberrations going into surgery. 3, record 3, English, - wavefront%2Dguided
