There currently exists a lack of minimum visible lesion data in the near-infrared region of the electro-magnetic spectrum. To address these deficiencies, we extend our calculations into this wavelength regime to predict expected trends.","PeriodicalId":428257,"journal":{"name":"Vision Science and its Applications","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129722304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fixation target can be found within a 9 degree or smaller retinal area for eccentric PRLs while foveal PRLs (i.e., normally functioning foveas) usually keep the fixation target within a 2 degree or smaller retinal area. These previous investigations of PRLs for fixation have studied the two dimensional spatial characteristics of monocular PRLs but not the dynamic temporal/spatial characteristics of the PRL during fixation. Therefore, it is not known whether the increased PRL size is due to larger drifts and/or microsaccades during fixation (although from this point on we will refer to the microsaccades as jerks since these small jumps can be quite large for some subjects).","PeriodicalId":428257,"journal":{"name":"Vision Science and its Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121477660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These changes, which involve an elastic recovery of the lens upon accommodation from the maximally stressed and flattened non-accommodated lens shape, are coupled with the contraction of the ciliary muscle, which itself changes in shape and location relative to fixed points within the globe. The refractive range over which accommodation can occur is age-dependent. In youthful eyes, the range can be as great as 15 diopters, but the near point recedes steadily with increasing age in the adult eye until, by about 50 yr, it closely approaches the far point. This diminution in accommodative range is accompanied by other aging changes in the lens, ciliary muscle, and anterior segment geometry.","PeriodicalId":428257,"journal":{"name":"Vision Science and its Applications","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132365233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge of very high order aberrations is important, for example, because they may limit resolution in fundus imaging. We have constructed a wavefront sensor based on the Hartmann-Shack principle3 to measure the contribution of higher order aberrations in a number of eyes. A point source from a 632.8 nm laser is imaged on the retina and the light reflected from the retina returns through the pupil of the eye. A two-dimensional array of lenslets is conjugate with the eye's pupil, dividing the wavefront exiting the eye into a large number of individual beams. The light from each lenslet is focused on a CCD array, produced an array of spots. Fig. 1a shows the regular array of spots that would have been obtained from a perfect eye with no aberrations; Fig. 1b shows the distorted array of spots obtained with a real human eye. Aberrations in the eye's optics cause displacements in the positions of the spots from which the wavefront error of the eye can be reconstructed.","PeriodicalId":428257,"journal":{"name":"Vision Science and its Applications","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134214326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
