Calculation of the primary spherical aberration of an eye model using paraxial ray tracing with matrix optics

Fabrice Manns, Arthur Ho, Jean–Marie Parel

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a technique to calculate the effects of laser corneal reshaping on the spherical aberration of a model eye. Our model indicates that spherical corrections of high myopia (> 5 D) by laser corneal reshaping are expected to significantly increase the amount of primary spherical aberration of the eye.
