Funded Activity Summary

Highly precise measurement of the optical quality of the human eye (how well an image is formed by light passing through the eye) is now possible. While eye's optics can be measured, it is less clear how to report optical quality in a way that is related to how well the eye sees; optics and vision are complex. This project will attempt to find ways to describe the optical quality of the human eye that predicts how well the eye sees - both for the normal eye and eyes with disease.
