Purpose:
With the aberrometer based on Tscherning's principle, measurements of wavefront aberrations of human eyes with high accuracy and reproducibility are available for standard diagnostic investigations.
Methods:
During investigational and clinical trials, wavefront-aberrations of about 300 human eyes were measured and evaluated within the last few years.
Results:
measurements are presented in terms of Zernike coefficients and as height maps that can be converted directly to ablation profiles for wavefront-guided laser treatments.
Conclusion:
The Tscherning aberrometer is a simple optical device with high accuracy appropriate for routine clinical investigations on optical aberrations of the human eye.
