There is more to accommodation of the eye than simply minimizing retinal blur
2017
Eyes of children and young adults change their optical power to focus nearby objects at the retina. But does accommodation function by trial and error to minimize blur and maximize contrast as is generally accepted? Three experiments in monocular and monochromatic vision were performed under two conditions while aberrations were being corrected. In the first condition, feedback was available to the eye from both optical vergence and optical blur. In the second, feedback was only available from target blur. Accommodation was less precise for the second condition, suggesting that it is more than a trial-and-error function. Optical vergence itself seems to be an important cue for accommodation.
Drifts in real-time partial wavefront correction and how to avoid them
2017
In visual experiments that require real-time partial correction of wavefront aberrations, small errors occur that accumulate over time and lead to drifts in Zernike coefficients of the uncorrected aberrations. A simple algorithm that does not require the inclusion of an additional optical path to obtain independent measurements of the eye's aberrations is described here, and its effectiveness in preventing these drifts is demonstrated.
