Taxonomy of Optical Taxonomy of Optical AberrationsAberrations
• Transverse ray aberration (slope): Angle (t) between aberrated ray and the non- aberrated reference ray• Longitudinal ray aberration: focusing error = 1/z (diopters) = transverse aberration/ ray height at pupil plane

PSF and Strehl’s RatioPSF and Strehl’s Ratio - PSF = Squared magnitude of Fourier transform
- Strehl’s Ratio = actual intensity in the center of spot maximum intensity of a diffraction – limited spot
Pupil diameter intensity of a diffraction – limited – spot
PSF have multiple peaks 2 or more point images for single point
Di- or polyplopia
Pupil diameter excludes most of aberrations Much improved image quality
clearer more focused retinal image
