Objective depth-of-focus is different from subjective depth-of-focus and correlated with accommodative microfluctuations.

摘要

In this study, we investigated whether the objective depth-of-focus (DOF) is different from the subjective DOF and whether it correlates to accommodative microfluctuations (AMF). The objective DOF and subjective DOF at 1.5 D accommodative stimulus (AS) level were compared in the same group of subjects. The objective DOF and magnitude of AMF were measured at 5 AS levels from 0 D to 4 D. Results showed that there was a significant difference and no correlation between the objective DOF and the subjective DOF. The objective DOF was correlated to the magnitude of AMF. The results suggest that objective DOF and subjective DOF represent the blur sensitivity of two different systems. AMF are correlated with the blur sensitivity of the accommodative system.
