Methods for specifying image quality of human eyes from wavefront measurements

摘要

Relative MTF scores for an eye are determined by obtaining at least one wave aberration of an eye, calculating at least one modulation transfer function from the wave aberration of the tested eye, specifying image quality of the eye using a relative MTF score system derived from the calculated modulation transfer function of the tested eye and a set of modulation transfer functions from a cohort of eyes with normal visual acuity. Methods for comparing image quality of different eyes under equal conditions and at different pupil sizes include comparing MTF of different eyes for best MTF in all pupil sizes and MTF of different eyes for night vision at a large pupil size that is different from eye to eye.
