ABSTRACT:
An adaptive sequential wavefront sensor comprises a sub-wavefront focusing lens, a sequential wavefront scanning device, a variable aperture, a position sensing device, and means for coordinating the operation of the wavefront scanning device, the variable aperture and the position sensing device. An adaptive sequential wavefront sensing method comprises the steps of sequentially projecting portions of a wavefront as image spots on a position sensing device, determining the deflection of each received image spot from a reference point on the position sensitive device, and coordinating the operation of a variable aperture with the operation the sequential projection and image position sensing. The adaptive sequential wavefront sensor has high speed, large dynamic range and variable spatial resolution, and hence can be used for real time measurement of the dynamics of eye accommodation. In addition, other functions or measurements can be combined with the adaptive sequential wavefront sensor to provide additional advantages. These additional function or measurement modules include a micro display based internal fixation and visual acuity projection module, a corneal topography module, and an optical coherence tomography module. When one or more of these modules is (are) combined with the adaptive sequential wavefront sensor, the combination system or apparatus can provide more accurate objective and subjective auto-refraction prescription, LASIK corneal ablation prescription, and contact lens or intra ocular lens prescriptions.
