Peripheral aberrations of the human eye

该项目将从几个角度使澳大利亚受益。它将对了解眼周边视力的局限性，特别是屈光手术干预的结果做出重要贡献。这一点很重要，因为许多澳大利亚人将需要这样的手术。能够更好地测量和纠正外周像差将导致改善眼睛的成像，从而有助于改善眼科疾病的检测和诊断。这项研究将使眼科医生、验光师和参与设计视觉仪器的工程师受益。该项目将为研究生提供自适应光学方面的培训，这是澳大利亚任何其他机构都没有的。

This project will benefit Australia from several perspectives. It will make an important contribution to understanding limitations to peripheral vision of the eye, particularly as a result of refractive surgical intervention. This is important because many Australians will require such surgery. Being able to better measure and correct peripheral aberrations will lead to improved imaging of the eye and thus contribute to improved detection and diagnosis of ophthalmic disease. The study will benefit ophthalmologists, optometrists, and engineers involved in designing visual instruments. This project will provide training in adaptive optics for graduate students not available in any other Australian institution.
