Description
Leading experts present the latest technology and applications inadaptive optics for vision science Featuring contributions from the foremost researchers in the field,Adaptive Optics for Vision Science is the first book devotedentirely to providing the fundamentals of adaptive optics alongwith its practical applications in vision science. The material forthis book stems from collaborations fostered by the Center forAdaptive Optics, a consortium of more than thirty universities,government laboratories, and corporations. Although the book is written primarily for researchers in visionscience and ophthalmology, the field of adaptive optics has strongroots in astronomy. Researchers in both fields share thistechnology and, for this reason, the book includes chapters by bothastronomers and vision scientists. Following the introduction, chapters are divided into the followingsections: * Wavefront Measurement and Correction * Retinal Imaging Applications * Vision Correction Applications * Design Examples Readers will discover the remarkable proliferation of newapplications of wavefront-related technologies developed for thehuman eye. For example, the book explores how wavefront sensorsoffer the promise of a new generation of vision correction methodsthat can deal with higher order aberrations beyond defocus andastigmatism, and how adaptive optics can produce images of theliving retina with unprecedented resolution. An appendix includes the Optical Society of America's Standards forReporting Optical Aberrations. A glossary of terms and a symboltable are also included. Adaptive Optics for Vision Science arms engineers, scientists,clinicians, and students with the basic concepts, engineeringtools, and techniques needed to master adaptive optics applicationsin vision science and ophthalmology. Moreover, readers willdiscover the latest thinking and findings from the leadinginnovators in the field.
