A. MTF radial profiles calculated from the measured wave aberrations for two patients (maps on top of each graph with natural HOAs and AO-corrected HOAs). Solid lines stand for AO-corrected HOAs, and dashed lines for natural HOAs. Green lines are for 555 nm at best focus. Blue lines are for 480 nm (including chromatic defocus). B. Illustration of images presented in the psychophysical score experiment through natural and AO corrected aberrations. Green images are presented in focus and out of focus (defocus equivalent to green-blue chromatic blur). Blue images are naturally defocused, as the best focus is set for green. C. Perceived Image quality score and Optical Visual Strehl Ratios AO/NoAO (upper graph), for green (in focus) and blue (defocused by chromatic defocus). Correcting HOAs improves the optics by a factor 2, and very moderately perceived image quality in green; and degrades the optics and perceived image quality (upper graph) in blue; Perceived image quality score on defocused green images (equivalent chromatic defocus) and in blue (naturally defocused) (bottom graph). Blue images are consistently scored higher than defocused green images) for both AO and noAO. Data are average of 10 patients, and for 6-mm pupils, adapted from [33], where individual data are presented.
