Wide-field direct ocular straylight meter

Opt Express. 2020 Apr 13;28(8):11237-11242. doi: 10.1364/OE.387940.

Abstract

The impact of the intraocular straylight (IOS) on the visual performance and retinal imaging is still a challenging topic. Direct optical methods to measure IOS avoid psychophysical approaches and interaction with the patient. In this work, we developed an optical instrument providing direct imaging measurement of IOS based on the double-pass technology. The system was tested in an artificial eye IOS model constructed with holographic diffusers and validated with theoretical simulations.
