Synopsis:

Principles, present and future applications of modern methods for diagnostics of a human eye and correction of aberrations of an eye. Techniques of measurement of aberrations and geometric parameters of the eye, analysis of an influence of aberrations on vision and possibilities to apply these factors into the design of ophthalmic correction tools. Analysis of an influence of the cornea on optical properties and aberrations of an eye, possibilities of anterior segment analysis and its application for the correction of the eye. Trends in the development of ophthalmic corrective tools, methods and instruments for a superior diagnostics and analysis of properties of the eye.
