Abstract
Local wavefront distortion by the total refractive system of the eye is measured by a variant of the Scheiner principle at some thirty loci of 1 mm diameter. At each locus we find the normal to the wavefront that could form a point focus. A simple visual display is used to review the data, and a steepest descents fit of the wavefronts with a power series enables comparison with more traditional measures of refractive error.Year: 1992 PMID: 20725340 DOI: 10.1364/AO.31.003678
