    This study objectively measured retinal image quality using a double-pass method. Image quality remained stable centrally but decreased in the periphery, impacting visual perception at larger field angles.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vision Science
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Understanding retinal image quality is crucial for diagnosing visual impairments.
    • Previous studies often relied on subjective assessments or limited objective measures.
    • Variations in image quality across the retina can affect peripheral vision and visual perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To objectively evaluate how retinal image quality varies across different retinal eccentricities.
    • To investigate the impact of accommodation (active vs. paralyzed) on image quality.
    • To analyze the relationship between image quality, field curvature, and peripheral refraction.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed a double-pass, photoelectric ophthalmoscopic method for objective image quality assessment.

  • Measured radial and tangential line-spread functions (LSFs) at eccentricities up to 45 degrees.
  • Utilized large artificial pupils to simulate various visual conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Retinal image quality remained relatively constant within the central 20 degrees of the visual field.
    • Significant deterioration in image quality was observed at larger field angles (beyond 20 degrees).
    • Accommodation state (active or paralyzed) influenced the measured line-spread functions.

    Conclusions:

    • Peripheral retinal image quality degrades significantly at wider field angles.
    • Findings have implications for understanding peripheral visual acuity and the effects of field curvature.
    • Objective double-pass measurements provide valuable insights into the spatial variation of retinal image quality.
