wave-front aberration can improve the accuracy and objectivity of measurement, and
has important value of experiment and clinic for improving normal eyesight and
refraction surgery.
This article investigates the measurement technology of human eyes’ wave-front
aberration, and its development both here and abroad. Human eyes’ structure and
speciality are analysed here. The mechanism of the production of the aberration in the
human eyes and the ways to describe them are analysed according to wave optics
theory. The mathematical function of wave-front aberration expressed by Zernike
polynomial is analysed.The relationship between Zernike polynomials and wave-front
aberrations and the influence of wave-front aberration of single Zernike modes on
optical quality are emphasized. Afterwards the resolved scheme of the measurement of
the human eye wave-front aberrations is proposed by the use of the Hartmann-Shack
sensor and deformable mirrors are used as wave-front aberrations correctors
respectively, which are involved with the theory of the wave-front reconstruction by the
use of the Zernike polynomials in the adaptive optics.
Objective measurement system with precompensation and defocus compensation
equipment of human eyes’ wave-front aberration are designed. The structure and
progress of this work are discussed, emphatically. The human eyes’ wave-front
aberrations are surveyed and corrected using the Hartmann-Shack wave-front sensor
and the deformable mirror. Electronic controlled translation platform is made. In this
system the engine of the workbench is controlled by 32 subdivision circuit. Impulses
produced by the gather chip within the computer are transmitted to the controlling
circuit. The program both controlling date gathering and workbench moving is
programmed with VB. PCB plat is designed with Protel99SE.
Wave-front aberrations of stimulate eyes are measuremented firstly, then the human
eye. Contrastive analysis the human eye aberration survey facular lattice chart before
and after adjust pre-compensation equipment, then validate the function of pre-
compensation equipment in this system. Contrastive analysis wave-front aberration
before and after adjust defocus compensation, then validate the precision of defocus
compensation system. Correct human eyes’ wave-front aberration by deformable mirror.
Contrastive analysis human eyes’ wave-front aberration before and after correction, then
analyse the function of deformable mirror. The system uses WF Sensor Software to
obtain coefficient of Zernike multinomial and the numeric value of human eyes’ wave-
front aberration and three dimensional restructuring charts of human eyes. At last,
process data by Matlab programme and analyse errors of the result of this experiment.
The conclusion can be found through the experiment results that human wave-front
aberration can be measured precisely by objective human eyes’ wave-front aberration
system in real time. Moreover, the precompensation system and defocus compensation
system also play important roles in the measurement process.
