Adaptive Optics in Vision Science and Ophthalmology

More than 25 years ago, the first in vivo measurement of the eye’s wave aberration was demonstrated at the University of Heidelberg, using the Shack-Hartmann method. Since then, various new diagnostic and treatment modalities have been successfully introduced, like adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO), adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) and adaptive optics two-photon ophthalmoscopy (AO-TPO), as well as customized refractive-surgical techniques, like customized LASIK (e.g. CustomVue), femtosecond laser refractive surgery (e.g. ReLEx, SMILE), femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and various customized intraocular lens (IOL) developments, including postoperative in-vivo IOL fine-tuning.
