Abstract
The optical properties of the eye are not static and change continuously over time with factors such as pupil size, the tear film stability and accommodation. Real-time measurement of the monochromatic ocular wavefront aberrations provides insights into the dynamics of the mechanisms that control accommodation. In addition, real-time wavefront analysis can be applied to evaluate the tear film dynamics providing data to understand how the tear film quality and dynamics affects the optical quality of the eye and retinal image quality. This work will review existing techniques to measure time ocular monochromatic wavefront aberrations in real time and will explore some of its clinical applications. Special attention will be given to techniques and studies undertaken at the Centre of Physics of University of Minho.
