Ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) vary widely among myopic individuals and are not linked to refractive error. Measurements of these aberrations using the OPD-scan wavefront aberrometer showed low repeatability.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Optometry
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) significantly impact visual quality.
  • Understanding HOA distribution in myopic populations is crucial for vision correction strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the distribution of ocular HOAs in myopic patients.
  • To evaluate the repeatability of HOA measurements using a commercial skiascopic wavefront sensor (OPD-scan).

Main Methods:

  • Ocular HOAs were measured three times in 61 myopic eyes using the OPD-scan wavefront aberrometer.
  • Root-mean-square (RMS) values for HOAs, total spherical aberration (TSA), total coma (TC), and total trefoil (TT) were analyzed.
  • Repeatability was assessed using correlation coefficients between measurements.

Main Results:

  • Mean RMS values for HOAs, TSA, TC, and TT were determined.
  • No significant correlation was found between HOAs and refractive error.
  • The third HOA measurement differed significantly from the first two, indicating low repeatability.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular wavefront aberrations exhibit significant inter-subject variability.
  • HOAs in myopic eyes are not correlated with refractive error.
  • The OPD-scan aberrometer demonstrated low repeatability for HOA measurements.
