I will try to paint a picture. There are special instruments called aberrometers. Essentially what those do is measure the the path of light that exits the pupil using an array of tiny lenslets. It compares that with the reference beam. The type I have utilizes a low power laser and measures...

Ha, now that's interesting. Of course you might be right and it makes me rethink how pilots really do function in their environments. I've heard it said by another vision consultant that some of combat pilots with the best kill records enjoyed slightly less than 20/20 vision. Perhaps 20/10...

Agreed. However, the use of wavefront optics is beyond the experimental stage. Wavefront LASIK is now routine. I'm signing off for now as I have to go earn a living. Thanks for the interest and the discussion.

Certainly you are correct. However, as I said in my post, this is not a matter of over-correction. It is a matter of more precise correction. If you over-correct a myope, you're in effect creating an artificial hyperope (farsighted eye). If you over-correct a hyperope, you are creating an...

I came across this thread while doing a Google search on 20/10 vision. I am highly interested in the subject and do work in this area. It first came about when I was in the process of correcting a patient's vision with some new lens design. The patient had a bad LASIK result and was only...
