Our group focuses on obtaining a deeper understanding of vision and the eye. To achieve this goal, we are making use of adaptive optics technology.
During adaptive optics visual simulation, we can correct for aberrations (e.g., defocus and astigmatism, spherical aberration, coma) for near-perfect vision or induce specific aberrations to study their visual consequences. In addition, by optically simulating ophthalmic lenses, we can assess their effectiveness and comfort.
Adaptive optics retinal imaging allows us to obtain high-resolution images of the retina, down to the cellular level. AO compensates for dynamic aberrations in the eye’s optics, enabling visualization of fine retinal structures that are otherwise blurred in conventional imaging methods.
