normal normal visionvision
supernormal vision
• New advances in ophthalmology may enable correction of high-order aberrations in the eye.– Advances in laser eye surgery, contact and interocular
lenses.
• Improved aberration correction could provide supernormal vision - better than 20/10 visual acuity, more than a factor of 3 increase in contrast sensitivity.
• Psycho-physical effects of aberration-free eyesight on visual performance are not known.
• We are using unique LLNL expertise in adaptive optics to enable detailed scientific studies of the visual performance benefits of improved aberration correction for the general population.
Diffraction-Limited Adaptive Optics and the Limits of Human Visual Acuity
• Normal human visual acuity is 20/20 on the Snellen scale after correction for defocus and astigmatism.
• The physiology of the average human eye can support better than20/10 visual acuity if higher-order aberrations are corrected.

Types of aberrations in population
Conventional Phoropter Wavefront sensor
• Ultimately, a clinical ophthalmic adaptive optics system could be used to replace the phoropter in order to allow optometrists to assess high-order aberrations in the eye while the patient directly observes the visual benefit of correction.
– Permanent correction of high-order aberrations could then be accomplished with custom laser eye surgery or contact lenses.

The SLM response is slightly uneven over the face of the device.
We really only care about the PV that gives us the phasewe want to wrap at. This means we want to wrap on aSurface, and not just at a pixel value (say 150.)
Plot of the response of the SLM (Stroke) versus grey value (0-256) for our optimal values, 600 Hz, 3.6 Volts.
We write a pattern to the SLM, correcting for the abberations inhernet in the device.

The LC-SLM is perfect for phase wrapping, effectively increasing stroke.

Incoming lightlooks like thisfor all 3 casesbelow.
Reflected light, for 3 different phase lags.
By wrapping at PV approximately 150, we can take out the0.7 micron abberation, using only 0.3 microns of stroke!
We can apply phase wrapping on the flat file.
Phase wrapping the flat file.
0 < PV < 254
0 < PV < 150(corresponding to ½ waveOf 630 nm light in WYKO)
both give this flatness of reflecting surface:
Either this:
or this, written to SLM…
Computationally, what does phase wrapping look like?
function wrap_phase_new, input
;This function wraps values > 150
; scale numbers up, so we wrap at 150, not 256
in=input*(256.0/150.0)
output = byte(in)
output = output*(150.0/256.0)

633 light sees “flat” surface, while 785 sees a grating.
Now, phase wrap the 785 nm, but not the 633 nm.
