Standards for Reporting the Optical Aberrations of Eyes

Abstract
In response to a perceived need in the vision community, an OSA taskforce was formed at the 1999 topical meeting on vision science and its applications (VSIA-99) and charged with developing consensus recommendations on definitions, conventions, and standards for reporting of optical aberrations of human eyes. Progress reports were presented at the 1999 OSA annual meeting and at VSIA-2000 by the chairs of three taskforce subcommittees on (1) reference axes, (2) describing functions, and (3) model eyes. The following summary of the committee’s recommendations is available also in portable document format (PDF) on OSA Optics Net at http://www.osa.org/.
