Abstract:
In recent years, wavefront analysis has ceased to be purely a laboratory application and emerged as a method used in ophthalmological diagnosis. This development has been promoted mainly by the widespread use of wavefront-guided LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis). However, aberrometry is still not a common diagnostic technique, and for many ophthalmologists interpretation of the results is difficult. The second part of this serial paper reviews findings that are relevant for the ophthalmological community and highlights current scientific applications in this area.
