Human eye aberrations increase with accommodation, but changes vary individually. Spherical aberration decreased, while higher-order aberrations were minimal at rest. Accommodation

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Wave-front aberrations impact visual quality.
  • Understanding accommodation's effect on aberrations is crucial for vision correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure human eye wave-front aberrations during accommodation.
  • To investigate individual variations in accommodative changes to aberrations.

Main Methods:

  • Used a spatially resolved refractometer for psychophysical ray-tracing.
  • Measured undilated eyes with accommodative stimuli from 0 to -6 diopters.
  • Analyzed monochromatic wave-front aberrations, including spherical and higher-order aberrations.

Main Results:

  • Monochromatic wave-front aberrations generally increased with accommodation.

  • Significant individual differences in aberration changes were observed.
  • Spherical aberration consistently decreased with accommodation; higher-order aberrations peaked at rest.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accommodation induces changes in eye aberrations, with notable inter-subject variability.
    • Spherical aberration's response to accommodation is predictable, unlike higher-order aberrations.
    • Accommodation-induced aberration changes are not strongly correlated with baseline aberration levels.
