Abstract

The optics of the human eye is as simple as robust and well adapted to the requirements of the visual system. How different induced optical profiles affect vision is a critical issue in ophthalmology. A very insightful way to evaluate this involves the use of adaptive optics visual simulators. This type of instruments are available in laboratories and clinics in a desktop format. It allows to measure the optics of the eye using a wavefront sensor and to add any particular phase profile with spatial light modulators while performing visual tasks. In the last years, we have been advancing this concept to be integrated in wearable devices allowing to test vision in subjects under more natural conditions. In this presentation, I will revise the history of adaptive optics in the eye with special emphasis in the current efforts to develop wearable devices.
