LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Understand the way a lens is currently calculated,
  2. Understand that the individual eye structure has an impact upon the way a lens design reaches the retina, and
  3. Appreciate that while higher order aberration (HOA) cannot be fully compensated, measuring and compensating for the patient’s individual HOA will produce better patient comfort than using a physiological model with average HOA and pupil size.
