Background:

Adaptive optics (AO) studies reveal optical aberrations influence dynamic accommodation.
Current AO systems lack real-time measurement of ocular aberrations during experiments.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel AO system with a dual wavefront sensing channel for simultaneous aberration correction and measurement.
To investigate the impact of dynamic eye aberrations on accommodation control.

Main Methods:

Developed an AO system featuring a 37-actuator piezoelectric deformable mirror.
Integrated a single Shack-Hartmann sensor for both mirror control and direct aberration measurement.
Incorporated stroke amplification and a rotating diffuser to enhance system performance.

Main Results:

The dual-channel AO system successfully measured ocular aberrations in real-time.
Demonstrated the system's utility in studying aberration dynamics during accommodation tasks.
Investigated the influence of optical imperfections on steady-state accommodation in four subjects.

Conclusions:

The presented AO system overcomes limitations of previous designs by enabling direct, real-time measurement of eye aberrations.
This technology advances the study of how optical quality affects visual functions like accommodation.
