Effect of the holding setup on the measurement of the crystalline lens aberrations

摘要

The main purpose of this work is to study the influence of the holding setups commonly used to measure the aberrations of crystalline lenses. Measurements for bovine lenses were performed with a point diffraction interferometer when the crystalline lens leans in the bottom of a glass cell filled with some preserving solution and when the lens leans over a ring placed in the glass cell in order to avoid the contact of the lens with the cell. Significant changes were found not only for symmetric aberrations but also for non symmetric ones.
