Schematic eye models to mimic the behavior of the accommodating human eye
2018
A simplified version of the human eye is known as schematic eye model. Since the first attempts in the middle of the 19th century, numerous approaches describing new schematic eye models have been introduced. Some of them are able to describe the accommodation ability of the human eye. Accommodative schematic eyes could be of great interest since they are able to explain the functionality of the human eye and they can be easily used for different research purposes. Some of these include the design and testing of multifocal ophthalmic solutions, evaluation of the effect of optical aberrations on the retinal image quality, and study of the optical performance of the eye at different distances…
Influence of the tear film on optical quality of the eye
1997
The optical quality of the tear film of the eye was tested by measuring the retinal image before and after the break-up time (BUT). An objective method was used based on the evaluation of the retinal image of a point test projected onto the fovea. The loss of an entire tear film would result in a decrease in the optical quality because of corneal irregularities and the formation of an irregular tear lens after the BUT. Our results confirm the expected loss both of non-contact lens wearers and contact lens wearers. Also, the fact that the optical deterioration found after the BUT is greater for contact lens wearers confirms that soft contact lens wear produces a disruption of the tears.
