Pinhole pupilloplasty: Small-aperture optics for higher-order corneal aberrations.

This technique of performing pinhole pupilloplasty helps filter the straylight from the periphery of the cornea in cases with higher-order corneal aberrations. The pinhole effect blocks distorted and unfocused light rays and isolates more focused central and paracentral rays through the central aperture, thereby reducing aberrations of the optical system as a whole and enhancing visual acuity and its image quality.
