One of the ... clinical applications of aberrometry is wavefront-guided refractive surgery. ... Other applications are the diagnosis of irregular astigmatism and the assessments of the optical quality of the eye.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Oeil
DEF

Méthode de détection et de quantification de certains défauts optiques dont l’œil est atteint, même lorsqu’ils sont corrigés avec des lunettes ou des lentilles de contact.

CONT

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.

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.
