Adaptation to Brightness Perception in Patients Implanted With a Small Aperture

Autors: Silvestre Manzanera, Kyle Webb, Pablo Artal
Journal: American Journal of Ophthalmology
Volume: 197
Pages: 36-44
Year: 2018
ISBN: 0002-9394

 

Purpose:
Small apertures are successfully used to extend depth of focus in presbyopic patients implemented either as corneal inlays or intraocular lenses. The use of small apertures reduces retinal illuminance. In this study, we quantify the relative perceived brightness in […]

Wavefront correction in two-photon microscopy with a multi-actuator adaptive lens

Autors: Juan M. Bueno, Martin Skorsetz, Stefano Bonora, and Pablo Artal
Journal: Optics Express
Volume: 26 (Issue 11)
Pages: 14278-14287
Year: 2018
ISBN: 1094-4087
Abstract
A multi-actuator adaptive lens (AL) was incorporated into a multi-photon (MP) microscope to improve the quality of images of thick samples. Through a hill-climbing procedure the AL corrected for the specimen-induced aberrations enhancing MP images. The […]

Light scattering in the human eye modelled as random phase perturbations

Autors: Augusto Arias, Harilaos Ginis, and Pablo Artal
Journal: Biomedical Optics Express
Volume: 9 (Issue 6)
Pages: 2664-2670
Year: 2018
ISBN: 2156-7085

Effect of intraocular scattering in macular pigment optical density measurements

Autors: Dimitrios Christaras, Alexandros Pennos, Harilaos Ginis, Pablo Artal
Journal: Journal of Biomedical Optics
Volume: 23 (5)
Pages: 056001-1 ; 056001-7
Year: 2018
ISBN: 1083-3668
 
Abstract
Fundus reflectometry is a common in-vivo, noninvasive method to estimate the macular pigment optical density (MPOD). The measured density, however, can be affected by the individual’s intraocular scattering. Scattering causes a reduction in the […]
