Three-dimensional relationship between high-order root-mean-square wavefront error, pupil diameter, and aging.

Abstract
We report root-mean-square (RMS) wavefront error (WFE) for individual aberrations and cumulative high-order (HO) RMS WFE for the normal human eye as a function of age by decade and pupil diameter in 1 mm steps from 3 to 7 mm and determine the relationship among HO RMS WFE, mean age for each decade of life, and luminance for physiologic pupil diameters. Subjects included 146 healthy individuals from 20 to 80 years of age. Ocular aberration was measured on the preferred eye of each subject (for a total of 146 eyes through dilated pupils; computed for 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 mm pupils; and described with a tenth-radial-order normalized Zernike expansion. We found that HO RMS WFE increases faster with increasing pupil diameter for any given age and pupil diameter than it does with increasing age alone. A planar function accounts for 99% of the variance in the 3-D space defined by mean log HO RMS WFE, mean age for each decade of life, and pupil diameter. When physiologic pupil diameters are used to estimate HO RMS WFE as a function of luminance and age, at low luminance (9 cd/m2) HO RMS WFE decreases with increasing age. This normative data set details (1) the 3-D relationship between HO RMS WFE and age for fixed pupil diameters and (2) the 3-D relationship among HO RMS WFE, age, and luminance for physiologic pupil diameters.

Integration of first- and second-order orientation.
The problem of how visual information such as orientation is combined acrossspace bears on key visual abiities, such as texture perception. Orientation signals can be derived fromboth luminance and contrast, but it is no...
Computer-generated holograms of three-dimensional objects synthesized fromtheir multiple angular viewpoints.
Synthesizing computer-generated holograms (CGHs) of a general three-dimensional(3D) object is usually a heavy computational task. We propose and demonstrate a new algorithm for computingCGHs of 3D objects. In our scheme,...
